Found this lovely shot at a deserted wharf in Peurto Arenas in Chile. It was just before sunrise.
Another fantastic rapid on the Futaleufu River in Chile
Torres del Paine, Chile.
A Vicuna with Volcan Parinacota in the background – Lauca National Park, Chile. The Vicuna is the most delicate of the South American cameloids – it’s wool is reputed to be the finest and most expensive in the world. Lauca is a magnificent, high altitude park located in far Northern Chile. It straddlles the Chile-Bolivia border.
On my first visit to Chile, we were the first passengers to sail the Kaweskar Route of the southern fjords on the Skorpios III. The weather was terrible most of the time (typical Patagonia n springtime) and the day before this, visibility was nil. Imagine our surprise when this day we woke up to this serene and magical sight. I think it is the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen – photos cannot do it justice.
This berg was as big as a house! We were bobbing around in a little lifeboat so we could be close to these and get some photos. Our main ship, the Skorpios III, although happy to plough through ice flows would not venture closer than 1 kilometre to the glacier face. The glacier in the background is the Pope Pio XI, the largest glacier (I think) in South America. Southern Patagonia, Chile.
We’ve already had the Dos Amigos – and by popular request, here are the Cuatro Amigos, this time four Vicuñas in the high altitude of the Altiplano in northern Chile. I didn’t line them up like this for the shot – they obviously are natural models, and yes, the sky really was very blue! ;o)
A different perspective of the Paine Massif and the famous “Los Cuernos” (Horns), as seen from the road to the Hosteria Lago Grey, where we spent an incredible few days. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.
Volcanoes Pomerape and Parinacota in the high Altiplano of Lauca National Park, on the Chilean/Bolivian border.
These bull seals seem to know when they’re on to a good thing. A whole heap of them were dozing on the dockside at the fishing harbour in Arica, northern Chile. They seem to spend half their time sleeping and the other half harassing the fishermen for a share of their catch! I was warned not to get too close to these guys as not only are they huge (up to 9 feet long) and heavy, but they are mighty belligerent….... ;o))) And they look so cute! Bless!!! ;o)))
Icebergs or clouds, they look very similar, don’t they??? San Rafael Lagoon, Patagonia, Chile.
The famous Paine Massif showing clearly the Horns or “Los Cuernos”. In the foreground is the natural vivid cyan of lake Pehoe. Torres del Paine National Park, Patagonia, Chile.

This is the frontal facade of an old house at the small village “Isla de Maipo”, near Santiago (40km), Chile. / Very rural / countryside region. / The strange colors are original. No photoshop I like the mood, the ambience and the textures. / Central Chile – Region Metropolitana. / Latin America. Unaltered original image / Canon Powershot G1 / F=4.0 Tv=1/80 FL=7.0mm = 36mm(35eq.) ISO 100 Featured in The Compact Group June 2009
This was taken in Santiago, Chile, at the same place Walk Alone was captured. The building is in Santa Lucia Park, in the heart of Santiago city. It is built on a hill, with steep pathways and stairs leading up to a 360 degree incredible viewpoint of the Andes Mountains which surround Santiago. This is my first attempt at playing with textures. The original photo below, is one I have always wanted to use, never did due to the lens flare at the top of the shot. Added a few layers of texture and faded out most of the colour. I first thought of the Hanging Gardens Of Babylon when I finished this one.

This cute creature is a Viscacha. A bit like a big rabbit with a long tail, they live amongst the rocks in high altitude regions of Peru, Bolivia and Chile. He/She (not sure which) is a Mountain Viscacha, a member of the Rodent family. This one is a wild animal, free to do as it pleases, but he’s quite happy living amongst the rocks around the Conaf Ranger Station at the Salar de Surire National Monument in far northern Chile. / This is a very remote part of the world and very few people would pass this way, so I think the Viscacha have learned to tolerate the human intrusion. / They’re diurnal, but their diet consists of grass, not very nutritious grass, so they spend most of their time asleep. When I found him he was asleep. I had him framed in the camera, thinking that he has to move eventually. And he did. He stretched out his tiny arms and yawned and then promptly fell back to sleep. / It was all over in a second and I had just enough time for one shot.
