Interesting Photo of the Day: Dusk Landscape in Chile

Interesting Photos  •  Landscape Photography

Torres del Paine National Park, in Chile’s Patagonia region, is known for its soaring mountains, bright blue icebergs that cleave from glaciers, and golden pampas (grasslands) that shelter rare wildlife such as llama-like guanacos. Some of its most iconic sites are the 3 granite towers from which the park takes its name and the horn-shaped peaks called Cuernos del Paine. Those who have visited the area swear that there’s nothing like it. And the following image of the area taken by photographer Manuel Fuentes gives a hint as to why they claim so:

“Torres del Paine, Chile at Dusk in Winter” by Manuel Fuentes (Via Reddit. Click image to see full size.)

The image is a 30-second exposure that Fuentes shot using an ND filter at dawn during the middle of winter.

“As I have always said, a place that falls in love and that is to fall in love with.”

Thanks to the long exposure, Fuentes has encapsulated a sense of calmness in the image. The clouds and water look magical. What’s really startling here is the vibrance—the colors beautifully complement each other. That’s not something that we get to see everywhere.

Wouldn’t you love to be there and absorb the energy in person? It’d be a visual spectacle for sure.
