Argentina

notes:

Ischigualasto, at San Juan province...the soft earth, the red sandy soil, the extremes in temperatures and water and wind erosion created curious and wonderful formations here...
Also, it's the unique place in the world where the three stages of Triassic can be seen ...
The late Triassic deposits of this place contains fossils from over 250 millions of years ago, and among all the dinosaurs' rests found here, the Eoraptor.. the eldest ever found at earth..
I tried to imagine this place so long ago.. how would it be... but i also enjoyed the simple touch of nature as it is now... just feeling the sunset light, adding saturated tones to stones.. making those red ones even more intense..
i was pervaded by beauty!

What can I say? Oh yes, I know, What a brilliant
picture. I think the composition and detail are very
good and you really have captured an outstanding
shot. The sharpness and colors couldn't have been
better.
