Updated – The panorama didn’t show up and idk why… I’ve added a link to it below. (Thanks lex!)
As a regular thing now, each night I tend to look at the photos I took in South America. There are almost 8000 of them. Some are tests photos I took while trying to learn my newly bought Canon DSLR and thus useless, some just weren’t good at all and just a bit were gems. I’d they, out of a 100 photos I took 1 was good. That’s a ratio any photographer won’t accept but I was happy with.
My (panorama) photo this time takes us back to the high Andes of Bolivia.
Many of you probably heard of the Salar de Uyuni. The salt flats of Uyuni. That is also the unofficial name of the 4 days tour I took to this magical place. As beautiful as the salt flats will be, they are only one part of the long high altitude journey which includes many more places. The one I was amazed the most of was a place called “Laguna Colorada”. The Red Lake.
The Red Lake is situated at 4278m above sea level and is part of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve in the Potosí Department of Bolivia. The lake’s water color comes from red sediments and pigmentation of some algae and contrasts nicely with the white borax islands.
The lake is packed with James’s Flamingo which also breed there, and they are the subject in the panorama below.
Enjoy!

Thanks for pointing that out… I didn’t notice.
I have added a link to the panorama at the bottom of the page.
If anyone knows how to embed Seadragon panoramas – let me know!
