My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

Chile | Sunday, October 17, 2010 | 5 photos

Arriving at Chile in another business travel, I was planning to go to a different place from my last adventures at this country. Following the tips from some friends I've decided to go to one place named "Cajon del Maipo" next to the "Cordillera de Los Andes".
Despite of the intense sun, the cold wind that comes from the huge mountains was blowing the dust that raise from the wheels of the 4x4 at the dirt road and like a curtain that is opened you can notice the colors getting intense with tones of yellow, red, orange that contrast with the green of the trees, the blue one of the sky and the rocks of the covered with snow mountains.
The sensation that I had was driving alone in a middle of nowhere, only the scene of one child playing with one paper Kite with the colors of the Chilean flag has reminded to me that I was only 70 Km far from the City. Meanwhile I was getting closer to the Cordillera I could see cows, goats, horses running fast near of the rivers that came from the top of the mountains when the snow melts with the Sun. The golden surprise was the scene of one Condor floating so far in the blue sky near of the top of the mountains.
After two hours of this amazing trip I've decided to stop near of the river and have a lunch before return to the city. Meanwhile I was taking a rest under one tree named "Sauce Lloron" I’ve realized that although I've traveled a lot, this experience has increased my desire of more adventures taking photos, and this contest will be a chance to learn with one expertise. Who knows one day I’ll became a professional photographer too.
