A morning after a night with snow, the eastern area of the Laguna Colorada seems to wear a black&white dress.

Here in the background, we can see the slope of the volcan Jorcada.

This is the original picture.



Note about the place :
======================
Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, within Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve and close to the border with Chile.

The lake contains borax islands, whose white color contrasts nicely with the reddish color of its waters, which is caused by red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.

James's Flamingos abound in the area. Also it is possible to find Andean and Chilean flamingos, but in a minor quantity.

Hi Matthieu,

nature, reduced to the maximum. Good job. A very honest picture.
Cheers Christian

This place is magic not only with a clean blue sky, but also with clouds and snow.
The green-red soft tones of the lake are fantastic.
