Frailejones snow

This photograph shows some mountains that are found in the El Almorzadero moor in a small town in Santander, Colombia. These geological formations are covered with frailejones, plants that capture water from the environment and have a strong mint green color that from a distance makes it seem as if the mountain were covered in snow.
