The Majestic Paramo
For those of you who aren't familiar with the term, the Paramo is the name given to the very high altitude grasslands of the Andes. There is a magic up there... a kind of peaceful solitude I have never felt anywhere else. I guess that's why its one of my favorite places on earth (it would be my #1 favorite but it's just too darn cold!). Too bad I'm running out of good shots from there. Guess I'll just have to go back soon!!!! :-)

I like the grass in the foreground. It leads you nicely into the scene. The sky is amazing... in fact, the whole shot is terrific. :-)
You are my winner!

I am lost for words
as Keats wrote:
"Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes
He star'd at the Pacific - and all his men
Looked at each other with a wild surmise -
Silent, upon a peak in Darien."
