Gone to See Patagonia 2015 Photography Tour with Thom Hogan. Day 2: Calafate to Helsingfors, Argentina

There is something special about the clouds in Patagonia. The wind coming over the mountains forms the lenticular clouds with their unique shapes. Also the sun coming over the mountains lights up the clouds with sometimes intense and unique colors.
