Mount Teide and 'cloud sea'

Stitched panoramic shot of the volcanic landscapes around Mount Teide in Tenerife. The 'sea of cloud' at right is the upper surface of the cloud-base, some several thousand feet below the altitude at which these photos were taken. The summit (actually a volcanic crater) of Mount Teide is 12,188 ft (3,715 m) above sea level and this pano is from around 8,000 ft. There was quite a bit of Saharan dust in the air when this was taken and I had made a tactical error in forgetting to pack my circular polariser for the trip to Tenerife, so a graduated filter in Capture One Pro post-processing had to do the necessary. Stitched from 2 frames using the 'panini' stitching algorithm in Capture One.
