Laguna Verde, Bolivia

This is one of the most spectacular views that you will ever see. The Laguna Verde (Green Lagoon) is a salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, on the Chilean border at the foot of the volcano Licancabur. Its colour is caused by sediments, containing copper minerals. It is elevated some 4,300 m (14,000 ft) above sea level.

Fantastic! We were fortunate to visit the Altiplano in Chile but didn't get to Bolivia. This is a spectacular sight.

Amazing colors -- I would have thought you tweaked the saturation a bit, but the explanation of the copper minerals in the lake is very interesting -- makes me want to go there. Nice photo work.
