Nevados de Quimsachata
Nous sommes dans la réserve naturelle Los Vicuñas à 4057m. Nous longeons la rivière Lauca, objet de controverses entre le Chili et la Bolivie en ce qui concerne l'origine des eaux que chaque pays revendique. À l'origine, la rivière Lauca se jetait dans le salar de Coipasa en Bolivie. De nos jours, toute l'eau est pompée avant que la rivière ne puisse passer la frontière. En toile de fond, derrière un groupe de vigognes, s'érige un groupement de 3 volcans enneigés : Les Nevados de Quimsachata, qui représente un mythe dans la culture indienne aymara. Ce groupe est formé du volcan actif Guallatiri (6071m) à gauche, du Cerro Acotango (6052m) au centre et du Cerro Elena Capurata (5950m) à droite.

Nevados de Quimsachata
We are in the Los Vicuñas natural reserve at 4057m heigh. We go along the Lauca river, object of controversies between Chile and Bolivia with regard to the origin of water which each country asserts. In the beginning, the Lauca river was thrown in the salar of Coipasa in Bolivia. Nowadays, all water is pumped before the river cross the border. In the background, behind a group of vicunas, sets up a group of 3 snow-covered volcanos: Nevados de Quimsachata, which represents a myth in the Indian culture will aymara. This group is formed with the active volcano Guallatiri (6071m) on the left, the Cerro Acotango (6052m) in the center and the Cerro Elena Capurata (5950m) on the right.

Hello Jean,
A beautiful and informative image showing the landscape and wildlife of the region. The colors are sensational for a landscape devoid of trees and being immensed with so many browns. The volcanoes are magnificent as they stand above the flat plains, a great exposure and use of polorizer.
Well done...

Hello Jean Pierre,
An interesting mountain scenery! I notice this is taken in late winter... Beautiful lines, rolling hills and steep snow covered mountains where the lamas add extra interest value... Good colour & details
Regards,
Pablo -

Bonjour Jean-Pierre,
des notes toujours aussi fouillées et instructives.
Dis-moi, quelle température faisait-il sur le plateau aride qui a des airs torrides ?
Les chaines de volcans se détachent bien dans le fond avec leurs crêtes enneigées.
Impressionnants.
Ce petit troupeau est un plus qui meublent ce plateau à l'avant plan.

Amitié de Liège, où notre plus haut plateau est celui des Hautes-Fagnes à 600 m d'altitude :-(.

Daniel.

Bonsoir Jean Pierre,
I like the wonderful contrast, the foreground lovely dark, but the background the splendid mountains with snow on tops, also the animals in foreground not forget!
Bonne week-end,
John

salut JP
toujour de paysage un peu lunaire, avec ce ciel bleu magnifique, les montagnes enneigées ressortent bien en fond d'image.

Salut Jean Pierre

C'est magnifique! A superb alpine scene of the Andes, with a marvellous color contrast, between the yellow grass / ochre earth, & blue sky. Bon travail, et merci pour le partage!

Hi Jean,
A very well composed and fascinating shot. Your portfolio of this region is marvellous and a credit to both your photographic and artistic skills. Superb colour, contrast and ambience in this vast landscape. I have noted in your shots what a judicious use you make of the polarizer filter; the effect is just right. Very fine work, JP. Your shots continue to inspire.
John
