Dank dir, poly! Hmm, das wäre nicht so gut, das Wasser in den Seen ist nicht unbedingt Trinkwasser;-)

polytropos ^club has replied to Gudrun ^club

Ja, darum kam mir der Gedanke. Du hast kein Wasser mehr und stehst vor einem See, aus dem du aber nicht trinken kannst. ;)

Gudrun ^club has replied to polytropos ^club

Das wäre nicht so gut, aber du könntest ein paar km weiterfahren und hoffen, dass die Ecolodge 2 Seen weiter offen hat;-)

Schönen Dank, Norbert! Das ist eine Hochlandwüste und auch sonst wächst nicht gerade viel im Andenhochland.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Herb Riddle ^club

Thank you, Herb! The colours come from the various minerals deposited by the volcanoes.

A simple but deceptively beautiful image...............the different tones in the landscape are amazing especially when viewed large and I love the swirls of white around the lagoon. The dark blue sky sets off the landscape beautifully and is made more interesting with the clouds.

Thanks for sharing Gudrun!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks very much, Keith! The white around the lake is salt/ borax. Most of the lakes up there aren't fed by rivers so they evaporate in the dry season.

Thank you so much, Carol! It's very sparsely populated but recently has been suffering from unsustainable levels of tourism.

The colours of the land are just perfect against that pure blue sky. I'm surprised you haven't posted these photos before, Gudrun. maybe you had them on Panoramio.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thank you so much, Amelia! This one was on Panoramio but in 2:3 format and with a faulty white balance. At first I didn't want to upload anything I had on Pano, now I'm starting to relax a bit;-)
