Most of these images were shot on our way North towards the Atacama desert...
This first was taken in the town of Antofagasta. I loved the way the light fell on the building and the boy...

Before we got that far we spent a day (long day) driving up to and through the Parque Nacional Nevada de Tres Cruces. This is a tiny park well off the beaten track (in fact nobody we asked about it, and we asked a lot of people, had ever heard of it). But this suited our criteria, which basically has to do with finding the empty bits on a map and then going there.

...and further still...

Finally at somewhere north of 14,000 we came to this lake...

Amazing colors.
Further north yet...

The lovely purity of a desert landscape...
Add clouds...

Coming back down the mountain was perhaps, a bit more terrifying...

The road was very well engineered, but the angle of repose, not so restful...
Good sunsets at that altitude though...

A word about the blue skies, at that altitude there is relatively less atmosphere, so the skies go almost to black...
Once again, thanks for taking a look.
