Monserrate

Large view preferred. Monserrate is a mountain that dominates Bogotá,

capital of Colombia. Dating back to the 1620's, the top of the hill was

used for religious prayer. The name comes from the Virgin Morena, hence

Monserrate. In the 19th century Monserrate was dedicated to El Señor

Caido, fallen lord, but it retains the name Monserrate. Thanks for your

comments and critiques. Larry

Larry,

  Beautiful scene with wonderful composition, colors & lighting.  Take care, Patsy

Very majestic landscape Larry. Well composed. I like the distant mountains, sky and the informative write up.

BR, Holger

Patsy,  Thanks for viewing this image as well.  it was tough photographing up here because of intense haze.  I did my best to turn the haze into an artistic element.  I appreciate your comment.   Larry

Holger,   Thanks for your comment on this image too.  There's not much on Colombia on PN.  The country offers much to see and photograph.  Tourism is becoming one of Colombia's chief industries.  I am pleased with this image given the haze I mentioned to Patsy above.  Larry

Like it. I guess there are a couple of places in the world with a "Montserrat' name.  

I know of one in the Caribbean and another in Spain.    By the way, an enjoyable scene and well captured.

Tony,   Thanks for your visit and compliment.   Larry
