Default Sincholahua Mountain Reflection

In the Ecuadorian Andes, behind Cotopaxi Mountain there is a series of highland valleys. They start around 3500 meters above sea level. I visited Hacienda Yanahurco, in one of these. Really beautiful landscapes.

Two giants shake hands

A long way

Reflection

I really like the first one - that cloud coming in from the side is really unusual. Also I like in the second shot that you have added people to your scene - it gives a sense of persepective and vastness.

Beautiful! I like the people in the second one. Such big country you captured! The third is my favorite, though. I'm a sucker for beautiful reflections
