Seven-Years Ago (08-January-2011) — Patagonia

Gone to See Patagonia 2010/2011. Photography Workshop with Thom Hogan. Day 13: Estancia Lazo to Hosteria Lago Grey.

We stopped for a few minutes at the entrance to Torres del Paines National Park while our guide paid the entrance fee. There were a number of Guanaco (South American Camels) milling around. All of a sudden two males started chasing each other. I caught this one as it ran right through our group.

  1. +Magnus Malmgren Actually there were 15 photographers doing landscape images and two male Gunaco's ran right through our group. I got the camera off the tripod just in time to catch this guy. It was lucky they didn't knock any of the tripods over.
