Green and white lagoons Photo

Photographer’s Note

These 2 lagoons are located near borderline Chile/Bolivia, at side of Licancabur and Juriques volcanoes. They are separated by this strip of land, at right it is green lagoon (Laguna Verde) and at left the small one is called Laguna Blanca (White Lagoon). They have different colors according with minerals inside their waters. There are many other lagoons like that ones in that zone near Andes mountains, many of them full of flamingoes. A trip from San Pedro de Atacama (Chile) to Uyuni (Bolivia) inside a jeep 4x4 is one of the most interesting experiences a tourist can do in the world. If you can: DO IT !

Hi Jorge
A spectacular landscape, and the volcano in the background is amazing too. Good capture of colours and scale - the tourist in the foreground gives a great sense of size.
Thanks for sharing

Les couleurs de l'eau, de la plage, de la montagne et du ciel sont magnifiques. Je trouve, par contre, que le premier plan est un peu moins esthétique et prend trop de place dans l'image
Amicalement

This is also a wonderful landscape that you show us. The colours of the water and of the mount are fantatstic. Perhaps a bit more contrast, and cropping the foreground would make it even better. I do not know Bolivia, but the landscapes I discover through such photos are very inviting.
Thanks.
Yannick

The colors are amazing. Good pov. Capturing the person is a good idea as it gives us the perspective on the size of the area.

Hola Jorge,

La primera sensación que te llega en el momento en que se despliega la página es abrumadora. Es impresionante la manera en que capturaste tal combinación de colores y profundidad. Me gusta también el comentario, eso anima a visitar ese lugar :). Muy bella foto

Hi Jorge,

This is a magnificent landscape, and looks well worth the visit.
I like the fact that you have included a person to show the size. Nice layering of colors.

Regards
Wanda

darrasin (2860) 2006-08-17 13:26

Very beautiful! You have captured a majestic landscape very creatively. Including the tourist definitely helps define the large scale of the mountain. I may have cropped a little off the bottom to compress things a little, but very nice as is.

regards,
Doug

Hej Jorge
Greetings from Poland!

mafegan (2826) 2008-09-13 1:10

Hello Jorge
Absolutely amazing scenery and I do hope I make it there one day. I believe this is what TE is about when it is possible to learn about destinations we wouldn't otherwise be exposed to. A most informative photo with the many colours on the volcano and the figure giving some perspective to the wide scene. TFS, Marlene

Waylim (8382) 2009-01-20 12:57

Jorge,
really beautiful POV and composition. Colors are nice and strong and with essence of the culture of the area. The sharpness is a little bit soft, but this was way back in 2004, You have come a longway, and your photos these are just top quality. Thanks
Way
