Welp, i traveled six hours north to Parque Nacional Torres del Paine this weekend and spent three nights sleeping under the stars. What a tremendous piece of country that park is! I don't think i have ever been in mountains of such immense size or grandeur before. Over the three days i spent there, i was able to witness the parks namesake (the Three Towers or los Tres Torres) veiled in clouds, dusted with snow, under sunny skies, and at dawns first light.
While there aren't any bears or wolves in Torres del Paine, or South America for that matter, i did see flamingos, ostriches, and a giant rabbit. And when i say giant rabbit, i mean like the size of my dog. It was awesome.
Absolutely breathtaking photos, Ben. Sounds like a fabulous trip. I wish you had taken a picture of the bunny as big as Emma! Baxter would have loved to play with that. Love you, Aunt Lucy
ReplyDeleteHey Aunt Lucy!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the rabbit ran into some brush before i could get my camera out... It was really a strange thing to see, even at 50 meters. Hope you and Uncle Jay are doing well!
Love,
Ben
Ben, I'm with Aunt Lucy - loved to have seen the rabbit! Go back hunt out the critter! Your pictures of the mountains are beautiful.. Missing you. Love Aunt Martha
