Yareta
I like the dusk atmosphere of this photo. Taken quite a long time after sunset, a long exposure was needed (4 minutes), but it resulted in nice smooth colors of both the Yareta plants and volcanoes.
Two volcanoes at Bolivia-Chile borders got red by the setting Sun. Quite a view together with the wonderful landscape of Lauca National Park!
Yareta Plant Photography Guide
Yareta or llareta is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae native to South America. It grows in the Puna grasslands of the Andes in Peru, Bolivia, northern Chile, and western Argentina at altitudes between 3,200 and 5,200 metres (10,500 and 17,100 ft).
One of the lucky moments here. First you travel to a very remote location in unforgiving elevation (almost 5000 meters) to get an otherworldly sight of snow covered volcanoes towering above beautiful landscape. All this complemented by thousands years old Yareta plants. And then also weather cooperates and nature gives you a colorful sunset. A moment hard to forget!
