STORY:
All flights to the southern hemisphere of Argentina was cancelled due to Ash circulation from the recent volcanic eruption in Chile so I/we had to endure this not-so-long bus ride 20-hour bus ride.
An unfortunate incident that turned out to be fun-filled and very satisfying as we had to take in the vast beauty of the Argentine lands.

Shot was taken somewhere in Bahia Blanca, which is still part of the Provincial "Buenos Aires", around 4-5 hours away south of the Buenos Aires capital.

Hola querido Matt

Congratulations on your 100th photo here on TE. How unusual that you choose a minimalist photo to celebrate with, when your usual style is usually to photograph details, whether they be in landscapes or on the street. I like this just as much and it's a pleasure to see this different syle, almost like a flag. Beautiful shot, congratulations.

Thanks for sharing
Lisa

Hi Matt

Minimalist celebration, indeed. Even without the 100th picture thing, this IS quite a festive picture. Such buoyant colours and the playful clouds up there even add more party ambience feel.

Tfs, congrats & have a festive weekend

Hi Matt,
your 100th photo, you have reached the first important milestone in your participation on the site. Congratulations!
I like this minimalist composition, with a chromatism based only on two colors, the orange of the sunrise on the sky, and the black of the silhouettes of the landscape and of the sea.
Both stripes in the composition create a great graphical effect.
A beautiful work.
Best regards,
Josep

Nice geometry, well spotted,
