Description
The Milky Way's Galactic Centre stretches above a rock formation called The Condor, one of many surreal eroded lava rock formations in Nor / North Lipez Province in south west Bolivia. Wind erosion (aeolian or eolian processes caused by sand and gravel being blown across this barren region) over time has sculpted the lava outcrops into many bizarre shapes and forms. Lighting from a small LED panel was used to light the foreground and bring out the textures and colour in the rock.
The condor was also believed to be a deity by many Andean peoples, able to connect between what the Incas called Hanan Pacha (the heavens or Upper World, occupied by the gods and mountain spirits) and Kay Pacha (the Middle World or Earth, occupied by humans and living creatures).
