Solidified volcanic lava stretches to the horizon. There isn’t a living soul nearby. Like on the moon. Lanzarote, an island in the Canary Islands. Here is where astronauts from ESA tested suits and got used to the view of the silver planet. We are walking on the moon. On solid lava, which from a distance looks like ploughed up black earth soaked in moisture. It’s strange that nothing grows in it. This is supposed to be the landscape of the moon. The sunset lit up the remains of lava scattered over the island. The water has evaporated. We took off our suits and walked on the moon.
