SÉRIE MINHA VIAGEM AO PERU - SETEMBRO DE 2007 - Nº 32
(My Trip to Peru - September 2007 - #32)

CAÑON DEL COLCA - COLCA CANYON - I stayed in Chivay, the capital city of the Province of Caylloma, a small town in the Colca Valley (Colca is the name of the river that runs through the valley) to visit the "Cóndor" Cross (Cruz del Condór) where I would watch the flight of this big bird! The Colca Canyon has its deepest part with 3,000 meters of depth!

As it's impossible to insert more than one picture here every day, I also make use of the WS to show you all other versions of the same place! TAKE A LOOK!

CÂNION DO COLCA - Fiquei em Chivay, a capital da Província de Caylloma, uma cidadezinha no Vale do Colca (Colca é o nome de um rio que corre pelo vale) para visitar a Cruz do Condor, onde veria o vôo daquele grande pássaro! O Cânion do Colca tem uma profundidade máxima de 3.000 metros.

Linda foto que nos mostra bem a aridez do lugar. Só mesmo um cacto podia sobreviver num local como esse. Tens aqui uma composição muito boa e cores muito naturais.
António

Hi, friend!
I see very interesting view. I never been in Peru... But I hope... Nice composition and very oryginal and for me exotic nature. Well done.
Marek

Olá Neyvan,

This wild texture is amazing with bald ridges full with sharp cliffs and only rocks. Your photo show and gives perfect clue about very hard weather condition in winter and summer too. Your way is splendid while adding cactus and deep valley together to your scene. Perfect sky and silhouettes at background. Your workshop posts are include really amazing view and details.

Parabéns e Abraço!

Ertugrul

Oi Neyvan
Como ficou linda tua foto com esse cacto dando as boas vindas . Uma vertiginosa visão até aonde os olhos alcançam.
Parabéns mil.
Abraços
maria

Bonsoir neyvan,
Ce paysage est vraiment typique du peru, le point de vue extraordinaire et le cactus en premier plan apporte beaucoup a la composition!
Bravo!

ney

esta está muito bonita. Gostei da inclusão dos cactus, plantas que admiro muito. Isso deu um destaque ao buracão do Colca. Gostei da luz e o fundão, com nuvens de chuva, está muito interessante de se ver também. Fomos aqui pra ver condores, a multidão esperando e eu fui tirar fotos de cactus, de repente todo mundo começou a gritar e eu não vi nada, eles viram um único animal que voou para longe. Fui ver condores bem de pertinho, e por acaso, no caminho para as torres do paine.. Mas o lugar vale a pena de qualquer jeito.
abraços

Oi, Ney
Achei a sua tomada, realmente, impressiva. Ela é repleta de atmosferas inóspitas. De um lado, o cactus, de outro, a cadeia de montanhas que parece ser intransponível. Gostei do destaque dado ao cactus, trazendo-o para o primeiro plano, e as montanhas, que vão ficando um pouco desfocadas, para o segundo plano. Ótimo POV e enquadre. Um abraço, Consuelo

Ola Neyvan
Bonita vista destas montanhas. Parece uma zona muito arida.
Cores e profundidade de campo muito bons. Gosto do cato em primeiro plano
Um abraço
Aires

Hi Neyvan,
It's an amazing view with spectacular POV. I like the romantic atmosphere and the fine composition, colours and lights are splendid. Beautiful shot, Have a nice day
George

Ola Neyvan:

Without doubt an impressive landscape. The majesty of the Andes, can be seen in all its splendor, with a great depth of field

Coming soon expose a picture for the Canon of Chicamocha in Colombia, something worthy of admiration for its splendor and grandeur, as this takes you hung. Thank you for sharing

John

Very impressive indeed, it reminds me a lot about the sheer depth and wide expanse of the Rio Apurimac near Choququirao :)
the use of the cactus in the foreground gives a nice sense of scale.

Are you sure it's 100km wide?
Maybe you meant 100km "long" (as in, it's longest side)
if it were 100km wide for 3km deep, it' would'nt be as impressive.
It looks like that canyon on the left in Googlemaps, showing the Terrain view shows mountain tops at 5000m and the canyon bottom at 2000m, so it fits, but it's more like 5km wide, but it does look like about 100km long... :)

Olá Neyvan,
um POV muito bom escolhido poir você nessa imagem com a inclusão do cacto, uma foto melhor que essa pra mostrar essa paisagem impossível.
Parabéns e Abraço

Aah this is beathtaking, the placement of the cactus is essential here, maybe I will go there in July 2009.

Hi Neyvan. Splendid photo of the Cruz del condor. I like the one in workshop with the people waiting for the condors flying. Have you seen them? I was not so lucky. It is such a wonderful place! Do the women in Chivay wear still those wonderful dresses and hats? I wonder if you know that this place was very remote and unknown until the Polish men with the kayaks (Chmielowski and friends) investigated this Canyon .

Hi Neyvan,
What a view!!! Good photo from this place!
TFS and regards,

L'intégration du cactus au premier plan est bien vu et permet d'augmenter la profondeur de l'image.
Joli travail.
