I remember Canary Island Lanzarote - the Timanfaya National Park has this black lava scenery, that goes for MILES. Just random black rocks, fortunately there is a sea.

Once, we wanted to stargaze with SO, and I remembered that there is no possible better place to do that than a large plane without a single light source.

Unfortunatelly, it was cloudy that night, so we had to drive for half an hour back.

It was the most surreal part of the vacation. Dim lights from the car, scattered around vague black rock formations for miles on end. Everything was silent, I would not be suprised if we got teleported to another dimension. Just black rocks on each side, menacingly moving behind us, never ending, just silently cruising by us.

I read Lovecraft, but never really understood his early stories, like Dagon, until I drive thought there. My mind was running wild making up stories in that scenario.
