The Andes

Its hard to put in words the impression that you get when you see the Andes mountains .... spectacular, majestic, unforgettable ... don't do this spectacle any justice, just as none of these photos will.

These mountains represent the immense power of the Earth as it reshapes itself with tectonic movement.

Yesterday we had one of those once in a lifetime experiences when we flew from Buenos Aires Argentina to Santiago Chile.

From outside the plane window we got a clear view of Aconcagua, at almost 7 kms high, the tallest mountain on the American continent and the tallest outside of Asia.

I ended getting about 20 photos and have made a slideshow video to give you some idea what we saw, but nothing I say or show on here could convey the impression that you really get.

We reckon it's great reading your comments but haven't seen that many so far. I hope that we aren't in the bad books. :)

So, don't be shy, click on the comments link below, you don't have to identify yourself if you don't want to.
