patagonia Valle del Frances - Patagonia

While the Towers and Los Cuernos (the Horns) receive most of the

accolades in Torres del Paine National Park, the Valle del Frances

was the highlight for me of the W trek. It is a wild section of trail

along the Rio Frances (seen here), emptying into a magnificent

alpine basin surrounded by high peaks and glaciers. I waited out

rain and snow for this view as the storm cleared.

Wild and spectacular... A beautiful shot.... Mike

A great view indeed. The river seems to echo the mountains. Regards, Bob.

Fabulous! I hope you were safe from man and beast while you waited for this beautiful revelation.

Enormous power. Amazing volume. Brilliant work!

Beautiful, natural landscape, looks very impressive to me.

Regards.

Thanks for sharing the technical details.  This is very well done!

love all that dynamism packed perfectly in square format

Great perspective and a stunning multi-layered shot!  Kudos to you for waiting for the right moment.....the weather can change so rapidly here.  I'm dying to go to Patagonia.  We've kept many exchange students, one of whom was from Argentina.  We're waiting to visit him and travel to Patagonia until we can stay for several weeks.  Now I'm going to snoop around and see if I can find more of your images from here.

Harry,  I nailed this as Torres Del Paine immediately.  It's got to be one of the most dramatic and beautiful parks in the world.  Wonderful image!  We were in Patagonia in 2008 and can't wait to go back.  Best to you.  Larry

Nice capture!

Magnificent landscape.
