What:Spring colours in Patagonia

Where: The start of the W circuit, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

When: New Years Eve 2006

Equipment Used: Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL, Exposure Time: 1/199 sec., Aperture Value: 6.34 EV (f/9.0), ISO Speed Rating: 100, Metering Mode: Pattern, Exposure Program: Normal programme, Focal Length: 22.0 mm

Comments: Having just got off the bus at the park entrance and started towards Puesto Seron, this is the view that greeted us. The W is definitely one of the most spectacular treks in the world for scenery, however it is now too popular – a victim of its own success.
