RUCA MALEN, a photo from Neuquen, South

Photographer's Note

Along the road of the 7 lakes you come to this enchanting place called Ruca Malen. The river you see here interconnect two lakes. There was a hotel just to the side facing one of the lakes which is no longer operational, like the bridge....it is slowly collapsing
any way..... not to worry..... there is a new bridge right next to where I was standing to take the photo and plenty of superb accommodation not far from here.
The name Ruca Malen is an indigenous name ( Mapuche ) and is a must stop over for thousands of tourists.

Bonjour Gus,
Jolie composition de ce pont qui a vécu.
L'eau et ses reflets sont très agréables à l'oeil.
Une atmosphère de serenité ressort de cette photo.
Bonne journée

Ciao Gus,
I really like this your shot, even if the old bridge almost destroyed seems like a great subject, the river water is beautiful and crystal and an emerald green color, the quality of your photos is excellent and very good light...excellent...
have a good WE...greetings from Rome...

Ps most of my trips I made for work even if it becomes really difficult to do business in Europe, but my Camera is always with me during my travels, I would really like to change my hobby, my passion and turn it into work...;)

Hi Gus,
Well taken this ol wooden bridge, perfect light and colors, these reflections add a good complement at the view.

Hola Gus.
Una esplendida composicion, me gusta el vetusto puente con sus viejas maderas y ese diseño tan peculiar, impresionante el color del rio, maravilloso todo ese arbolado y por entre el pasamanos del puente, aun podemos ver las cimas de unas lejanas montañas.
Es un trabajo muy hermoso amigo mio, con una magnifica luz y un colorido fantastico, un lugar delicioso.
Disfruta del fin de semana, aunque tengas que dedicar un rato a segar el cesped, despues de hacerlo emite un agradable olor, lo disfrutaras.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Hi Gus
The abandoned sad looking bridge that had seen a better life! nevertheless it's worth to shoot Gus when you have such good props to play around. The crystal clear water is particular is attractive, lush vegetation with the feel of isolation. Deep colors and strong contrast too, making the structures stand out so strikingly. All in all this is fine effort, and nicely done. Congrats.
Kind regards
