Friday Photos: El Chalten, Argentina
I'm continuing to delve into the archives and pull out photos, mostly my husband's, from our trip to Patagonia in 2020. It's good to let his art out into the world a little, and it doesn't hurt too much.
We spent about 10 days in El Chalten, hiking the hills around Mt. Fitzroy. In past posts I've shared some shots of the amazing sunrise we photographed one morning, but there was so much more. I'll pick out some of the best to post over the next two or three weeks.
Today, we'll see some photos of Chorillo del Salto and a hike to Laguna Torre, with views of Cerro Torre and Fitzroy.
The waterfall. 
The valley of the Rio de las Vueltas, a classic braided glacial river (thus the color).
Another day we did a hike to Laguna Torre. With Dave and his brother, we always started early, and were rewarded with great light and no crowds.

That's me on the right.

| Dave was a great one for making panoramas, stitched from high-quality individual shots. |

| Reflecting pool. |
 |
| South American beech forests are so like those in New Zealand. |
We had the lake to ourselves when we first arrived.
 |
| Another signature Dave shot--the flowers in the foreground. It was windy, so they are a little blurred. Cerro Torre center back. |
 |
| We climbed the moraine to get as high and far as we could. |
 |
| Cerro Torre--hard to believe people climb that. On purpose. |

Thanks for joining me on this trip through some beautiful memories.
