Today I bring you another scanned slide and another view of Laguna Miscanti at aroung 5000meters asl.

Laguna Miscanti is a brackish water lake located in the altiplano of the Antofagasta Region, in northern Chile. Miñiques volcano and Cerro Miscanti tower over this lake. This heart-shaped lake has a deep blue color. The western shoreline of the lake is separated by less than 1 km from the drainage divide between the lake and the Salar de Atacama basins. Laguna Miscanti basin also has a common boundary with Salar de Talar basin.

A lava flow from an eruption of Miñiques separated Laguna Miscanti from Laguna Miñiques.

The lake is part of one of the seven sectors of Los Flamencos National Reserve.

I was looking for polarizer but I saw altitude and that must be what makes your colours so crisp and clear down there or up there...depending on altitude. Nice colours of blue...I shall add it to the theme...16,000 feet it looks like...That's pretty doggone high. You must have had to have oxygen with you?

A beautiful scene expertly captured in saturated colours, characteristics of high altitude James, the wind shaped low bushes in the FG add great depth to the landscape and improve the diagonal composition. Well done indeed my friend!

Hi James,
Outstanding shot of this wonderful place with such lovely colours and details. The FG tufts of grass looks amazing and the distant snow covered peaks balances so well with the pristine sky and blue waters. majestic setting and you have captured it so beautifully. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Hello James,
One of my dreams is to go to this Atacama region. I have seen many pictures of it and always they make me dream. Yours is one of them. I have read your sad story on your latest picture and I would say that after what happened to you, you managed so well to find forces to achieve what you have done in your life. And you bring us "bonheur" to dream of the whole world. So have a grat thank and our thoughts are with you

Great contrasting colors James, and I like this diagonally split composition.

Hi James

The blues are wonderfully vibrant here, nice contrast of textures here with the almost hairy FG through to the snow capped mountains. I love the low POV. It looks like a stunning place
