Cactus Colca Photo

Photographer’s Note

The valley of Colca River has hundreds of different views, at this point we can see the river, a little bridge and some cactus. Near this place there are some ancient tombs build inside high rocks. Colca river cross Andes mountains and create a very deep canyon, arriving in Pacific ocean with another name (Camana), adding life to rize plantations in the middle of the desert. But this you will see soon in other photos I intend to put here.

Hi Jorge,
Rugged landscape with a curvy road ... lovely scene. Color quality and sharpness is good and well composed. Well done!
Cheers,

Hello Jorge, the landscape is so diverse, it is the type of image you can look at and see something new each time. I can even see a smokey fire in the background. Awesome texture and form here. Have you considered taking several photos of this and stitching them into a panorama... it would be great to get the whole impact.

Nice work
Vernon

The high foreground allows for a unique distortion of perspcetive.
Your eye for creativity is obvious.
Kind regards,

Hi Jorge,
special landscapewith perspective of the meandering path well seen. The river is so grand and its view it very lofvely, blue and clear.
I like the patches of cactus with the terrace plots in the BG.

Foozi

Ola Jorge!
Merveilleux paysage désertique, même les cactus semble avoir soif. Il manque rien dans cette photo, la rivière presque à sec et la route sinueuse contribuent à la beauté de la photo. Une photo que j'aime beaucoup.
Tous mes meilleurs compliments,
Amicalement,
Emilius
