View through Airplane Window-20, a photo from La Paz, North

Photographer's Note

Bolivian Highlands – Lake Titicaca

When I remember back these many flights I’ve taken in the past, there is nothing else than the spectacular views of the world below the airplane that remain in my memory; views which we are not able to see from the ground.

Enjoy the view of the world outside the airplane window as I've seen and captured it with my camera.

I’ve taken this photo during the flight from Lima to La Paz (on board of Taka International Airlines Airbus 320 airplane) from an altitude of appr. 10,000m a.s.l., but only 6,000m above ground level.
You can see a Bolivian Highlands and part of famous Lake Titicaca.

The Bolivian (Andean) Highlands are characterized by high poverty and a fragile ecosystem. Located at above 3,700m a.s.l., they are some of the very few areas in the world where agriculture is practiced at such high altitude.

Lake Titicaca is located in Andean Highlands between Bolivia and Peru at an altitude of 3810 m a.s.l. Lake Titicaca is one of the most fascinating lakes in the world, a sacred place for the Inca civilization, as the Incan mythology says that the first Inca king, Manco Capac, was born here. According to the Incan mythology, this is the place where the world was created from, when the god Viracocha came out of the lake and created the sun, the stars and the first people.

Hello Miro.
Surprising this great panorama of this landscape is so barren and lonely, but in those lies also its particular beauty.
Very good management of the optimum brightness and sharpness. Well done.
Best regards.
Luis.

Una faglia ex vulcanica ed un'altra espressione che dimostra come questa nostra terra sia stata percorsa da innumerevoli movimenti tellurici.
Questa ...W - 20 fa di te un "eternauta" ....
L'impressione che viva in una casula spaziale.
Sono contento che abbia viaggiato molto .

Hello Miro

You certainly do alot of flying! Beautiful definition of this wondrous landscape. I like how you;ve used the wing of the plane to lead the eye into the frame and the colours and clarity are superb.

Warm regards and thanks for sharing

Hi Miro,

The wing is sending my eye toward the ground which is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is allowing me to see the details and colors of the Bolivina Highlands. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Miro,
this is a fascinating view from the high altitude of the plane and I like the inclusion of the wing. The ground looks very beautiful and full of interest and mystery in the warm light and colours occasionally interrupted by various intriguing shadows. I also love the texture of the land that looks like a relief. A great picture, congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good evening,
Ourania
