Two superb pictures. I love the framing of your first shot, and the wider view in the second is beautiful.

Thanks a lot, Rosa! In my opinion these are among the most beautiful mountains on earth and we were lucky to see them without clouds.

Those icy peaks look magnificent in the sunshine............and the blue sky is sublime. Nicely composed Gudrun with some interesting looking branches in the foreground. The walking there looks like hard work with those boulders.

I like the PiP too.............always good to get a wider view. The houses give us some idea of scale as well.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks very much, Keith! A rare fine day, sometimes climbers sit in the village for weeks waiting for the break in the clouds.... The path wasn't too bad (this was a small detour) but I couldn't do it any longer these days.

That looks so fake! Has to be Patagonia of course. That place is so surreal. Wonderful drama.

Gudrun ^club has replied to raingirl ^club

Thank you so much, Laura! Patagonia looks doubly surreal across the arid steppes on the Argentinean side, especially with some mirages/ fata morganas thrown in!

These mountain peaks are truly impressive, and it sounds as if you were lucky enough to see them clearly without the clouds.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks very much, Amelia! We were really lucky! By afternoon clouds had come up even though the mountains themselves were still to be seen. The next day the clouds came down and the day after it rained very hard....

Hi Gudrun
I really like this picture!
It is a very different and exciting composition
Great colours too
It is so hard to believe that they are real.. But I trust you!!
(I've see one fake full moon tonight already..that's enough!!)
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

Gudrun ^club has replied to Peter_Private_Box ^club

Thanks a lot, Peter! One reason that the mountains look a bit surreal is the difference in elevation. The photo was taken at only ca. 700m compared to 3400m for Fitzroy!

It's amusing, too--"cerro" usually means "hill" in the Spanish around these parts. It seems a bit of an understatement here! ;)
