Volcano Sajama Photo

Photographer’s Note

Nevado Sajama is an extinct stratovolcano and the highest peak in Bolivia. The mountain is located in Sajama National Park in the southwest area of the country some 16-24 km (10-15 mi) from the border with Chile. The peak is an isolated cone, but is geologically complex, with lava domes of andesitic and rhyodactic composition overlain by an andesitic stratovolcano. The date of the most recent eruption is uncertain, although Holocene activity is assigned to the volcano by many. Some of the highest growing trees in the world are found on the volcano, where Polylepis tarapacana have been found growing up to 5200m.

Ciao Matteo,
It's nice to see this superb place again but you have overexposed the highlights and cut an alpaca on the left.
Have a nice day JY

Beautiful landscape.
The animals make it literally more alive.
Somehow the snow on the mountain is too bright?

Ciao Matteo. Immagine da reportage naturalistico. Be icolori e nitidezza fino alla linea del lago. Poi la luce sul bianco non ti ha assistito. Poco male.

Ciao Matteo.
Ritorno dopo un pò a riammirare le tue foto.
Questa mi provoca un pò di infiammazione al fegato ...
Eccezionale scatto, di notevole impronta naturalistica.
Ciao
