Photographer’s Note
Jour 7 au Pérou, après la descente dans la poussière désertique et la remontée dans l'ombre humide des montagnes titanesques. Maisal c'est un "village" (pueblo) de 3 maisons de terre battues éloignées, mais c'est aussi un espace plat d'environ 30m de large à 2846m d'altitude sur un immense flanc de montagne couvert de jungle de nuages. La vallée du Rio Blanco est magnifique dans l'ombre et les nuages du matin, et notre Site de camping n'est bientôt qu'un souvenir dans la montée vers notre premier col de plus de 4000m.

Day 7 in Peru, after the descent to hell in the desertic dust and climbing back up in the humid shadow of titanic mountains. Maisal is a "village" (pueblo) of 3 out of sight mudbrick houses, but it's also a 30m wide flat space 2864m high on the immense mountain slope covered by cloud jungle. The Rio Blanco valley is magnificent in the morning's shadow and clouds, and our campsite is soon a fleeting memory in the climb up to our first 4000m pass.

Ciao Bruno,
really an amazing image, with a pleasant game of lights and shades and the clouds that serve as contour to these imposing mountains. I believe that from the place in which you have captured this photo is had really the feeling to be on top of the world. Very beautiful, compliments.
Ciao
Paolo.

Hi Bruno!
To see those views personally is something that one can never forget and no photo can really express what it means!
This picture is very nice! Together with the previous ones we are having a pretty good idea of what you've gone thru!
TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan
