notes:

This is a singular geomorphology formation named "dolina", at Los Andes. It is seen as a big depression with mirrors of sweet water on the bottom. 300 meter diameter and 100 meter depth.. couldn’t show it better.. snow behind me, a fence in front..
But now, the interesting side.. :-)
It is called Pozo de las animas, Soul's well... some people says it is because the wind reaching the surroundings produces a special whistle.. but those who know more, told me the truth: many years ago, two rivals tribes began a quarrel.. those living in this place were running for their lives, as the others duplicate them in quantity...
A foggy night, no moon to give light.. they ran.. and ran.. at a certain moment, they heard just silence.. the shouts of their enemies had stopped, suddenly.
They didn't ask themselves why.. they went on running and finally took a rest .
The following day, they came back, and saw a big hole at earth.. a well had appeared, and inside it, the enemies had fallen and died.. Mother Earth had helped and punished..
It wasn't windy when I was there, but I heard the voices.. just whispering about past glories...about unfair wars.. about lost hopes.
