Description
A view of the Andean foothills and Mt Huayna Potosi (6088m / 19,975ft) after an overnight winter snowfall. The mountain is part of the Cordillera Real range and is one of the most popular climbs in Bolivia. The lake in the lower part of the image is Lago Milluni. Fresh snow (during the winter dryer season the result of cold fronts) transforms the altiplano grasslands into a harsh yet strangely beautiful landscape; if the clouds clear the snow on the lower ground quickly disappears in the sun
