Magic into 4000 meters of altitude

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Ecuador | Friday, July 5, 2013 | 5 photos

Proceeding from a sea city I could not fail to be impressed by the great mountains that surround my country.
These pictures contains the legend of the Creator God, the¨Pachamama¨,which decides to create a sacred bird called¨Condor¨that would serve as a mediator between spirits and humans.
For years the condor carried messages linking the heaven and earth,one day he saw a beautiful girl wearing the sheep and he fell in love.To appear elegant,the Condor stole a¨poncho¨and posing as a human,climbed to the girl on his wings,who feeling the freedom of the skies,became enamored with the condor.
This is one of the great legends of the Andean region and the scene of this legend as magical as its story.
For me photography is exactly that magic which you can freeze a story combining time/place/spirit.This inclination towards photography was what led me to search options, just trying to mix experience trip with learning.
I have always had passion for adventure and desire to reach places where your soul is bound to the place's soul,in which perpetrate the time through an image is just wonderful.
Have the opportunity from this program would be one of the most valuable experiences of my life.
