My Photo scholarship 2011 entry

Colombia | Sunday, November 6, 2011 | 5 photos

These Images where taken in Colombia, in different trips I have done in this changing and amazing country...
I have traveled around taking pictures of different culture and geographic spots from the Caribbean, to the Snow Mountains at 4.800 meters passing thru the Indian culture and desert with natural sculpture in the sand.
Image 4693 I was taking pictures in Dibulla Guajira of landscapes and waking by the river we found these Indian people washing their clothes in that river mean while the mother was doing that, the bigger child was looking after his smaller brother.
Image 4960 In Chocó Valle walking in the beach going to a turtle breeding place I saw plenty of crabs coming out from holes in the sand, and they are pretty fast..So I decided to wait for a long time looking to one hole till the crab came out.
4961 during that walking I saw these skinny dogs who are happy but very skinny since they only eat fish (this are fishing communities) and sometimes they don´t have nothing to eat...
5475 I was looking for some waterfalls in Bahia Solano Chocó when I found this young local girl having a natural shower in one of these waterfalls, she didn´t like me taking these pictures...and you can see it in her face
6296 Tatacoa Dessert in Huila is one of the hottest places in Colombia around 43 degrees Celsius
It has natural sand structures and beautiful landscapes similar to the red canyon but smaller

I am a Uruguayan Photographer living in Medellin Colombia
I have worked for different enterprises and companies in different countries and always loved doing natural pictures and wildlife
For me it will be a big honor to have the opportunity to do this with NATGEO and it will be like a dream come true....
