First Light

Dawn at the foot of mighty Torres del Paine (2850m) towers, which rise 2000m above the nameless lake in the Andes of Chilean Patagonia, and gave name to the famous national park.

 

I was incredibly lucky to witness this sight because weather was worsening. Firstly, 2h of night ascent were necessary to get there while constantly looking towards the sky in fear. Clouds were building up, closing most of the sky but sun somehow found the way to the towers through the hole in the east. 10mins later clouds closed everything and downpour began, but it was well worth it.
