High Pericongo Photo

Photographer’s Note

High Pericongo
---------------
Dear friends, I pause in the presentations was doing on the Desert of the Tatacoa to dwell on display a beautiful natural scenery.

Leaving the city of Neiva to the south, between the municipalities of Timaná and Altamira, on a high from the road, you can see this landscape. The Magdalena River is seen in this beginning of their journey, with little flow, given that not far from there, presents his birth.

This site was sadly in our history, as the point from where the Cacica Gaitana at the time of the spanish conquest, was launched in vacuum, disillusioned by the avatars that gave life: the murder of her son Timanco at the hands of Peter of Añasco, and the loss of the battles in front of it organized by the conquerors.

The place is stunning to the naked eye and cause some dizziness by the altitude, because that is a short stroll from 400 meters up to 1,700 meters above sea level.

Amicably, John

Hi John. Great photo. I love the way the river winds through the scene taking my eye with it. Well composed and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Hello John,

very good composition revealing the picturesque view; I like the slight curves of the river which disappears somewhere far in the distance, among the hazy banks and valleys. the bright green leaves on the right in the FG enliven the picture even more (that helps in this case, with no direct sunshine). The water looks perfect! :)
Maybe the image is a bit oversharpened (but that's only my humble opinion), but in any case it's very pleasant!
Best regards,
Elena

Hi John!
I like the photograph for its colors (natural and nice), the vertical format that's very adequate to show the river as it goes through the hilly landscape, excellent sharpness!
Another good presentation of Colombia to all of us!
TFS - Congrats!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Buenos días John,
Nada de como agua y mejor aún, un pequeño río para encantar un paisaje. Excelente imagen de descubrimiento de Colombia. Un bonito trabajo.
Pasa un buen día
Cordialmente

Hola estimado John , un paisaje incrible con una historia tambien increible. Queria agradecerte tus consejos en mi ultimo post publicado , con personas como tu da gusto .En mi opinion deberias quitarte el nombre de aprendiz por el de maestro porque seria lo justo.

Muy agradecido.

Luis

Qué más pués J.O?

Linda composicion 's' o serpiente;
no importa, las dos comienzan con 's'
asi que no hay riesgo de discrepancia.
Pues te cuento que me gusta como compusiste
este valle. La vista se ve muy acogedora
y pacíifica... y cuando te vas a animar y
mostrar modernos paisajes urbanos?
Saluditos desde este cálido y húmedo Miami!

Hola John,
Qué bonita perspectiva del rio con su cauce haciendo eses, parece una serpiente reptando entre las verdes colinas. Bello lugar y excelente profundidad.
Un abrazo,
Charo

Hola fiera.

Esta me encanta. Tremenda la profundidad y cómo el rio nos adentra en la foto.

Un saludo!

Hola John,
Una vista fantástica, con el cauce sinuoso del río produciendo una gran profundidad y dinamismo. Me gusta la presencia del arbusto en bajo a derecha y las piedras en el canto, sin ellas la imagen seria ligeramente más monótona. Solo es pena que el cielo no sea más interesante, pero eso no lo pudieras controlar.
Me recuerda una que tiré en una zona de montaña en Santo Domingo.
Un abrazo, José.

Hello John,
a very captivating shot of a landscape. Great point of view to demonstare the perspective. Excellent shot of this meandering river, with details well seen from the beginning to the end into the mountains.
Excellent composition of natural elements.

Regards,
Foozi

Hola John,
Tremendo paisaje con una gran composiciíon, que en el formato vertical, acentúa aún mas la profundidad del lugar teniendo como protagonista absoluto al serpenteante río.
Un saludo.

Felip
