Icy Summit Pyramid of Chopicalqui

The icy summit pyramid of Chopicalqui, in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, emerging from storm clouds after our descent from the peak. No views from the top, but spectacular scenery as the storm cleared out. By Howie Silleck, July 9, 2007.

High alpine art

I'm loving the composition and colors, this is stunning! I can only imagine it's that much more impressive in person.

Re: High alpine art

Thanks mrbynum - to tell you the truth, it was actually pretty meanacing in person that day - it felt like a big, icy, not at all benign peak in the storm.
Thanks again,
Howie
