Photographer’s Note
Returning from my trip to the upper jungle, I stopped at Carpapata, where it is possible to see how the vegetation changes from a "normal" andean to a more denser "jungle" type. Well, that is what some tour operators said, but it is possible certainly to see some change in the shades of green. Here I am depicting the "jungle" type. Although certainly not as dense or tall as that closer to the real jungle.
The road to the right is the highway going eastwards to the jungle. It is a paved road with two tracks, one for each direction. The one bifurcating from it at the centre of the picture is a dusty road leading to an hydroelectric very close that uses the water from the river to the left. I have tried to find the name of this river but haven't found it yet.
The bottom-right corner is without plants because a landslide that certainly happened a short time ago wiped it off.

Hola!
Me encanta la composición, sobre todo el bonito efecto de paralelismo entre el río y la carretera.

Hello Jurgen,
What an amazing POV! My legs go to jelly just looking at it! I like the natural lead-in from the roads and once they disappear from sight, the eye roams around the hills and up to the misty tops! I like how the hills overlap on the shot!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Coucou Jurgen! Ces routes sont tout à fait impressionnantes! Le point de vue est vraiment bon et ces montagnes qui s'emmêlent sont très belles. Le Pérou offre encore des vues quasi vierges de toutes beautés.

Hello Jurgen,
This is a beautiful photo with a very informative note. I can see that a vertical format is the only way to present a scene with such remarkable "verticality." The composition, perspective, light and shadows, colors and resolution are all first rate.
Warm regards,
Bulent
