18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
3000 meter Giants
This was probably the most challenging site i set foot. Reaching it quite a physical and mental challenge. Of course, when you do reach the top you get an extremely welcoming reward…this as to be one of the most magnificent views I have ever seen. The mountain set in front reachs about 3500m and it forms the perfect amphitheater for the incredibly blue\turquoise lake below. Its formed with the water melting from the ice caps on the mountain giving it this extremely breath-taking colour (I’ll be posting more shots of it later). To a photographer its always a challenge to be able to show gigantic landscapes on one single shot. This one I tried my best but nothing surpasses the feeling of standing physically on the spot.
