The cone of the Licancabur (5916 m - 19409 ft) dominates us from its full height. On its right is the Juriques (5,704 m - 18714 ft).
The Licancabur owes its name to the Indians of Atacama, and means mountain or volcano of the people (lican-cabur).
This mythical volcano, asleep but not considered extinct, is the real postcard of the region of San Pedro de Atacama and Lipez. It marks the border between Chile and Bolivia.
From its height of 5916 m (19409 ft), it dominates the Atacama Salar at Chilean side, and the Laguna Verde in Bolivia. This stratovolcano has a crater, located in Chile and 400 m in diameter, with a lake of 90 m by 70 m in its center.
The Licancabur also houses many Inca ruins and a sanctuary at its summit; it was an eminently important place for the pre-Columbian cultures of the region.

Un volcan impressionnant
Le cône du Licancabur (5916 m) nous domine de toute sa hauteur. A sa droite, on voit aussi le Juriques (5,704 m).
Le Licancabur doit son nom aux indiens d'Atacama, et signifie montagne ou volcan du peuple (lican-cabur).
Ce volcan mythique, endormi mais non considéré comme éteint, est la véritable carte postale de la région de San Pedro de Atacama et du Lipez. Il marque la frontière entre le Chili et la Bolivie.
Du haut de ses 5916 m, il domine notamment le salar d’Atacama coté chilien, et la laguna verde en Bolivie. Ce stratovolcan possède un cratère, situé au Chili et de 400 m de diamètre, avec en son centre un lac de 90 sur 70 m.
Le Licancabur abrite également de nombreuses ruines Incas ainsi qu’un sanctuaire en son sommet ; il fut un lieu éminemment important pour les cultures précolombiennes de la région.

Un alligator dans la « Big Cypress National Preserve »...
La photo est prise en bord de route... le long de la Loop Road qui traverse sur plus de 10 miles ce paysage de forêt immergé... Les alligators sont là facile à voir et peu farouche... ceci-dit, c’est toujours très impressionnant combien ils parviennent à se rendre invisible malgré leur taille et alors même qu’ils sont très proches.. A cet égard, la photo de cet individu qui se fond sur le reflet des cyprès est très représentative de l’impression un peu angoissante qu’ils laissent... « oh mon dieu... il était si proche... comment ai je pu ne pas le voir??!! »
I was attempting to take a picture of the buildings in the background. The polution was too high and even with a polarizer there was no cutting away the haze. When I was experimenting he walked right into the line of fire and appreciated the temple which was behind me. Of course I kept shooting but not at the buildings anymore. :-)

It humbly reminds me of Pablo Picasso's saying: "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child."
