Now Lanzarote has had a poor reputation in the past, largely due to its rather tacky resorts of Puerto del Carmen and Costa Teguise. Well I went to Skegness in the summer (for about half an hour) and let me tell you, they are positively classy compared to that! Anyway, I am a big fan of the rest of the island. Here are some photos I took with a variety of cameras - mostly the E-M10 but also the TZ60 and even the iPhone 5S. A couple of these are elsewhere in PL so apologies if you've see them before.
The obligatory volcano walks:

Landscapes shaped by the wine industry (surprisingly nice whites and OK reds)

The neighbouring island of La Graciosa was great, like a quiet Greek island in atmosphere
