First Place
Cuernos Glow Pam Arbogast
This photograph was taken in mid-March, 2020, in Torres Del Paine National Park, in Chilean Patagonia. It was the day of our much anticipated arrival at the park, after two weeks exploring wine country, and the lakes district in Chile. My husband and I had spent many hours in our rental car, driving to the park, and were eager to get out, hike, and photograph this amazing place. This hike especially had been recommended to us because the famously fierce Patagonian winds were NOT blowing on this particular afternoon. I shot this photo as we finished our hike and the evening glow lit up the wall next to Los Cuernos (The Horns). I saw these mountains several more times in our remaining four days in the park, but this was the most beautiful view. Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short by a day as the park closed due to measures to control the spread of corona virus. Canon 7D. 24-70 Canon lens at 33m, ISO 400, f9.5, 1/125
