Acrylic on Winsor & Newton Watercolour paper 5" x 7". This painting originally started out as a watercolour painting but the colours started to get muddy. Rather than throw it out, I decided to paint over top of the watercolour with acrylic. The colours are a little intense, but right about now, after all the snow we've had this winter, I'm looking forward to seeing the colours of Spring.
The Altiplano (Spanish for "high plain"), Andean Plateau or Bolivian Plateau, in west-central South America, where the Andes are at their widest, is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside Tibet. The bulk of the Altiplano lies within Bolivian and Peruvian territory while its southern parts lie in Chile and Argentina.
The Altiplano plateau hosts several cities like El Alto, La Paz, Puno, Oruro, Potosí, and Cuzco. The northeastern Altiplano is more humid than the southwestern, the latter of which hosts several salares, or salt flats, due to its aridity. At the Bolivia-Peru border lies Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America.
The Altiplano was the site of several Pre-Columbian cultures including the Tiawanaku and the Inca Empire. Spain conquered the region in the 16th century.
Major economic activities in the Altiplano include mining, llama and vicuña herding, and services in the cities. There is a fair amount of international tourism.

We did a 2000-km long car road loop in the southern part of Altiplano region, Argentina, starting in Córdoba, and going way up north across barren mountainous landscapes, scattered settlements, lonesome volcanoes and endless salt flats. Altiplano is a special part of the world, indeed, and definitely one of the most amazing landscapes on the Earth.
Here, we were driving from the remote settlement of Antofagasta de la Sierra to Salar del Hombre Muerto salt flats and further to Susques settlement, passing remote and eerie high altitude landscapes of the Argentinian Altiplano.

Hope you had a good start in the new week!
Although it was cold and a tad misty, the autumn colours were still so vibrant in the gardens today. The leaves are really starting to drop so this is the last hurrah !

sometimes people say they like to spell words like favorite---favourite and color---colour. sometimes i think its just their way of saying they dont want to conform and they think they are being cool for it. I dont know. not to offend anyone who likes spelling words that old english way, I just dont find it special or creative. I am also in a very bad mood right now due to the fact that I am homesick :'(
