While trekking around the Patagonia area of Chile and Argentina, I was usually looking to the mountains for photography. However, I spent a few hours each day moving from one camp to another and along the way I passed many intimate scenes of natural beauty. Sometimes I would have to stop, unpack my camera gear, and take a half hour or so to capture as many of my impressions as I could. This shot is from Torres del Paine in Chile.
