Hola Silvia, preciosas montañas seminevadas , el color y la niditez perfectos. Saludos.

Hi Silvia

A lovely shot - nice composition, good colours. The only thing that spoils it - for me - is your name in the corner - it takes away from the lovely scene.

I think you have translated the spanish word into enlish as boiler - it should be crater (like the top of this volcano), or more likely caldera - a big crater.
