La Reserva Nacional LLanquihue se ubica 60 kms al este de la ciudad de Puerto Montt a los pies del Volcan Calbuco extendiendose por la ribera nor-este del Lago Chapo hasta el estuario del Seno de Reloncavi y la comuna de Cochamo por el norte con Puerto Varas en las proximidades del Lago Llanquihue.
Uno de los mayores atractivos de la reserva es un trekking por el sendero del Rio Blanco que permite subir hasta el crater del Volcan Calbuco, el sector de los Cerros Coluli se ubica en las proximidades del Lago Chapo y se accede a el por el camino de Ralún a la Central Canutillar.
Fue declarada por la UNESCO en el 2007 como una "Reserva de la Biósfera Bosques Templados Lluviosos de los Andes Australes". Predomina la vegetacion del tipo siempre verde "Selva Valdiviana" constituyendo parte del denominado "Bosque Andino Lluvioso Norpatagonico" catalogados como uno de los remanentes boscosos más grandes y ecológicamente intactos de la Tierra por el Instituto Mundial de Recursos (World Resources Institute – WRI). Cabe destacar que Chile cuenta con cinco parques nacionales y tres reservas nacionales que cuentan con esta denominacion a la que pronto deberia unirse el futuro Parque Nacional Cochamo.

El Volcan Calbuco es otro de los portentos de la region de los lagos menos famoso que su hermano Volcan Osorno pero no menos impresionante cubierto de nevadas invernales, el paisaje parece empequeñecer a los pies de sus nevados.
Este volcan aunque se encuentra inactivo desde 1996 sigue siendo considerado de alta peligrosidad, tiene 2.015 msnm de altura y es parte de la Reserva Nacional Llanquihue. Su ladera N-W mira al Lago Llanquihue frente a la ciudad de Puerto Varas su ladera S-E al Lago Chapo. Existen dos senderos para subir haste el crater saliendo desde Enesenada via Valle de los Ulmos o bien desde el Lago Chapo por el Rio Blanco.

Despues de una semana fría y lluviosa tuvimos por primera vez un día de sol, que mejor oportunidad para salir a fotear. Parti por la mañana a la zona del Lago Chapo, mucha nieve en las montañas, un cielo azul primaveral, por la tarde el plan era ir a la zona costera frente al Oceano Pacifico para hacer fotos de atardecer. De regreso a casa en Puerto Varas luego de revisar las fotos una reflexion mas alla de las maravillas naturales que ofrece esta parte del pais me hizo preguntarme..¿ en cuantas regiones del mundo se podria fotografiar paisajes de montañas nevadas y en menos de una hora estar junto al mar fotografiando el atardecer..!?.
En esta captura otra vista del Lago Chapo cerca de Puerto Montt captado ese mismo dia.
-------------------------------
After a cold and rainy week we had for the first time a sunny day, what opportunity to go to make some shots. In the morning went out to Lake Chapo area lots of snow in the mountains and like spring blue sky just perfect. Later in the evening the plan was to go to the coast facing the Pacific Ocean to take pictures of sunset. Back home in Puerto Varas after reviewing the photos thinking not just about the wonders offered by this part of the country beyond made me wonder...how many regions of the world could you shoot landscapes of snowy mountains and sunset by the sea in less of one hour ..!?.
In this one another beautiful view of Lake Chapo near Puerto Montt shooting that day.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) The proportions of the human body according to Vitruvius - "Vitruvian Man" reproduction (c. 1490; metal tip, pen and ink, touches of watercolor on white paper, 34.4 x 24.5 cm) - Venice, Gallerie dell'Accademia
Riproduzione dell''Uomo Vitruviano
E' conservato alla Galleria dell'Accademia di Venezia ed é forse il disegno più famoso della storia dell'arte, purtroppo non può rimanere permanentemente esposto in quanto la luce scolorirebbe l’inchiostro
Leonardo descrive le proporzioni del corpo umano:
«Vetruvio, architetto, mette nella sua opera d'architectura, chelle misure dell'omo sono dalla natura
disstribuite in quessto modo cioè che 4 diti fa 1 palmo, et 4 palmi fa 1 pie, 6 palmi fa un chubito, 4
cubiti fa 1 homo, he 4 chubiti fa 1 passo, he 24 palmi fa 1 homo ecqueste misure son ne' sua edifiti.
Settu apri tanto le gambe chettu chali da chapo 1/14 di tua altez(z)a e apri e alza tanto le bracia che
cholle lunge dita tu tochi la linia della somita del chapo, sappi che 'l cientro delle stremita delle aperte
membra fia il bellicho. Ello spatio chessi truova infralle gambe fia triangolo equilatero»
«Tanto apre l'omo nele braccia, quanto ella sua altezza.
Dal nasscimento de chapegli al fine di sotto del mento è il decimo dell'altez(z)a del(l)'uomo. Dal di sotto del mento alla som(m)i-
tà del chapo he l'octavo dell'altez(z)a dell'omo. Dal di sopra del petto alla som(m)ità del chapo fia il sexto dell'omo. Dal di so-
pra del petto al nasscimento de chapegli fia la settima parte di tutto l'omo. Dalle tette al di sopra del chapo fia
la quarta parte dell'omo. La mag(g)iore larg(h)ez(z)a delle spalli chontiene insè [la oct] la quarta parte dell'omo. Dal go-
mito alla punta della mano fia la quarta parte dell'omo, da esso gomito al termine della isspalla fia la octava
parte d'esso omo; tutta la mano fia la decima parte dell'omo. Il membro virile nasscie nel mez(z)o dell'omo. Il
piè fia la sectima parte dell'omo. Dal di sotto del piè al di sotto del ginochio fia la quarta parte dell'omo.
Dal di sotto del ginochio al nasscime(n)to del membro fia la quarta parte dell'omo. Le parti chessi truovano infra
il mento e 'l naso e 'l nasscimento de chapegli e quel de cigli ciasscuno spatio perse essimile alloreche è 'l terzo del volto»
Reproduction of the Vetruvian Man
It is kept in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Venice and is perhaps the most famous design in the history of art, unfortunately it cannot remain permanently exposed as the light would discolor the ink.
Leonardo describes the proportions of the human body:
For the human body is so designed by nature that the face, from the chin to the top of the forehead and the lowest roots of the hair, is a tenth part of the whole height; the open hand from the wrist to the tip of the middle finger is just the same; the head from the chin to the crown is an eighth, and with the neck and shoulder from the top of the breast to the lowest roots of the hair is a sixth; from the middle of the breast to the summit of the crown is a fourth. If we take the height of the face itself, the distance from the bottom of the chin to the under side of the nostrils is one third of it; the nose from the under side of the nostrils to a line between the eyebrows is the same; from there to the lowest roots of the hair is also a third, comprising the forehead. The length of the foot is one sixth of the height of the body; of the forearm, one fourth; and the breadth of the breast is also one fourth. The other members, too, have their own symmetrical proportions, and it was by employing them that the famous painters and sculptors of antiquity attained to great and endless renown.
Similarly, in the members of a temple there ought to be the greatest harmony in the symmetrical relations of the different parts to the general magnitude of the whole. Then again, in the human body the central point is naturally the navel. For if a man be placed flat on his back, with his hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centred at his navel, the fingers and toes of his two hands and feet will touch the circumference of a circle described therefrom. And just as the human body yields a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it. For if we measure the distance from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and then apply that measure to the outstretched arms, the breadth will be found to be the same as the height, as in the case of plane surfaces which are perfectly square
another shot from yesterday. have some more to put in the comments too. but will do that later.. need to make some dinner now.
my shot for today.. well... that's quite unexciting. a flower shot of sorts i am afraid. just wasn't much of a photo day.. or i suppose more accurate.. i wasn't really in the mood to pick up the camera. will post that later too.
internet was down yesterday evening... hopefully the same won't happen tonight..... would love to see what you have been up to.

Feeling safe in Centro Mazatlán with tourist police at the ready.
We were visiting Mazatlán during a January, 2023 dust up between the Sinaloa Drug Cartel and Mexican Government authorities over the 05 january arrest of Ovidio Guzman, son of jailed drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
After a six-month surveillance operation, Mexican law enforcement officials swooped down on the house outside the city of Culiacán where Ovidio Guzmán, also known as "El Ratón" (The Mouse), was hiding.
At least 10 military personnel and 19 suspected members of the Sinaloa drug cartel were killed.
A further 35 military personnel were injured and 21 gunmen arrested,
09 March Ovidio now claims he is not the son of El Chao.
