Finally the drought is over in Chile. Lots of rain means lots of snow up there. So how about a little snowy Andes scenery.. finally! And how about a little panorama. No hdr needed. Oh.. Please don't say Alpine scenery. People here take it very seriously.. The Alps are in Europe hehe and people here are andinists not alpinists! Cheers!! :D

Lots of rain in Chile means lots of snow in the Andes!
We are having such a beautiful week-end, I had to go to up there.
We found those two by the road and the lighting was near perfect!
I love Santiago!
ps: oh and please say "Andean scenery" rather than "Alpine scenery"! ;)
This is Torres del Paine National Park in Chile taken across Lake Pehoe just before dawn. The three horn shaped peaks are known as the Cuernos del Paine and are just under 3000m in altitude. They are high enough to have glaciers which cleave icebergs into the lakes.
Flying from Santiago to Calama, Chile (or back) is one of my favourite flight experiences.
I think it's the Nevado Tres Cruces national park region, but if I'm wrong, please correct me.
It looks better full screen so please press "L" and check it
The road that folllows the rail track of "el tren de las nubes" from Argentina to Chile. They don't use this track anymore since a train accident occured a couple of years ago.
Peru's Rte 15 reaches an eye-watering 4910m elevation on the approach to the town of Chivay, nestled inside the Colca canyon. The hulking 6000-m Hualca Hualca volcano looms on the horizon behind a field of bizarre rock formations.
The páramo is the ecosystem of the regions above the continuous forest line, yet below the permanent snowline. The páramo zone is the most interesting of the life zones of the Andes, since it shows to the highest degree, the struggle of plant and animal life against conditions of extreme cold temperature. This vegetation type is scattered along the crests of the highest mountain ranges or on isolated mountaintops between about 3000 meters (m) and 5000 m. Here on the flanks of the Culbiche mountain at +/- 3700 m.
Le páramo est l'écosystème des régions situées au-dessus de la ligne de forêt continue, et en dessous de la limite des neiges permanentes. La zone de páramo est la plus intéressante des zones écologiques des Andes, car elle montre au plus haut degré, la lutte de la vie végétale et animale contre les conditions de températures extrêmement froides. Ce type de végétation est dispersé le long des crêtes des plus hautes chaînes de montagnes ou sur les sommets isolés entre 3000 et 5000 m. Ici sur les flancs du mont Culbiche à +/-3700 m.
