[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
El Chalten is Argentina's newest town. It was founded in 1985 following a border dispute with Chile over nearby lands. Thus the town was founded to reassure argentinian sovereinity over this territory.

El Chalten is Argentina's hiking capital from which one can take many hikes on the surrounding impressive landscapes. It is still quite isolated and everything is very expensive as it has to be trucked from somwhere else.

Salut Daniel,
A nouveau une très belle photo, un peu comme celle postée il y a 2 jours.
J'aime bien ce point de vue en hauteur qui offre un splendide panorama.
Très beau.
Bonne journée.
Alex

Hola Daniel.

Un bonito punto de vista. Las casas, con su colorido, rompen el paisaje y le dan un toque bonito.

Un saludo, Oscar

Salut Daniel,
Un bon POV, en hauteur, qui nous donne un bon aperçu de la ville. Effectivement, cela a l'air encore assez paumé comme coin. C'est quoi l'immense bâtiment rouge, tout au fond, un hôtel?
Bonne journée
Brigitte

Hej Daniel,
Nice view over this town. Interesting to read about its still short history. The clouds are also nice and so are the surroundings of the town. Good work!
Hilsner,
Lars

Hola Daniel. Es una historia interesante... como las relaciones entre Chile y Argentina. Bueno, la vista es bien linda me gustan las formas de los cerros.

Daniel bonsoir - J'aime beaucoup ces très larges panoramas que tu nous présentes souvent - leur qualité technique est remarquable, notamment leur piqué et leur teinte -
Bon week end et merci
gaby
o) demain matin

Amazingly, I dont recall that red mansion! And guess what, we were VERY VERY close to one another at that same day, Daniel...wonder if we passed by each other and didnt know we gonna meet again here!
:)
Great capture, in any case! Good detail across the frame and POV, observing town from above...
I remember that the low clouds started building up that day only around 3 PM, but looking at your photo info I saw that you returned back at 7 PM (!) and then I remembered that there is quite a lot light even till 10 PM...You had a long long day...

Hey Daniel,

let me justa sk this. Your photos are not posted at the 800 pixel limit. Why? Would love to see them a bit bigger.

anyway, Im really enjoying your landscaps. I think you are doing really well and are producing some of the beter ones on TE. I like the soft light and the gentle colors. I guess having such a fantastically wonderful view makes it fun to shoot these sorts of shots.
