Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina
Here nature bows to the power of the wind, everything is weathered.
Estamos frente al canal de Beagle, en Tierra del fuego donde amaneció un día con bastante niebla…El clima en los Andes Fueguinos generalmente es frío, debido a que es una de las zonas más australes del mundo, la temperatura anual promedio varía entre los 2 y los 10 °C. Ocupan la porción montañosa del sur del archipiélago de Tierra del Fuego, llegando a altitudes superiores a los 2000 m.Las mayores alturas se registran en la Cordillera Darwin, en el sector sudoccidental de la isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, cuya máxima cumbre es el monte Shipton, de una altitud de 2469 metros sobre el nivel del mar y ubicado en territorio chileno.

Tangara xanthocephala
(Saffron-crowned Tanager / Tángara coronada)
Saffron-crowned Tanager is a brightly colored tanager with a distinctive yellow head. This species occurs through the Andes from Colombia and Venezuela south to Bolivia, and occupies humid montane forests and secondary woodlands.
Due to human destruction of habitat, it is hypothesized that the population numbers are decreasing. Like most Tangara tanagers, the Saffron-crowned is sexually monomorphic.

La Ceja, Colombia; Central Andes; 2.300 meters above sea level.
A young male in transitional plumage to adult. Young males acquiring adult plumage are patched with red and yellow.
The only completely red bird in North America, the strawberry-colored male Summer Tanager is an eye-catching sight against the green leaves of the forest canopy. The mustard-yellow female is harder to spot, though both sexes have a very distinctive chuckling call note. Fairly common during the summer, these birds migrate as far as the middle of South America each winter.
this is just one of the incredibly beautiful mountainscapes I had the chance to see after coming back from a hike in the Andes, right at the Argentina-Chile border. The car was moving but the landscape was unique, so I did my best to get it right. no time for tripods nor for second chances, think fast and shoot fast. special thanks to the bus driver whom kindly slowed down a bit to help me out.

This is possibly my favourite photo from my recent (and last-minute) trip to Ecuador for the Ministry of Tourism as part of their Feel Again Project. This particular shot was taken at the amazing Hacienda Zuleta in the Andes.
Sorry I haven't been as active on Flickr as usual; I didn't have much internet access over the last month or two.

The spectacularly bizarre Andean Cock-of-the-rock is perhaps the most popularly recognized bird of the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains.
Distributed from Venezuela to Bolivia in the Andes, this species is readily identified by its fan-shaped crest and brilliant orange plumage. Males spend much of their time displaying at leks, where they jump up and down on particular branches and utter low, guttural croaks. The name is derived from their preference for rocks and ledges as substrates for their mud cup nests.
