There's nothing more prevalent in Chilean Patagonia than naturaleza, or in English, nature! So naturally, with the nifty letter N being next for Alphabe-Thursday, that's what I'm sharing with you this week.
Don't forget to stop by Mrs. Jenny's and see what the other Alphabetarians have in their nests this week.
This image is not very sharp since it's greatly magnified, but I couldn't resist showing you this Andean Condor, soaring high above the sheer rocky cliffs. (Click on the image to enlarge). Condors have a wing span of up to 10.5 feet...huge and graceful, but not very handsome close-up. Note the condor in the image below also. (This area, located between Mañihuales and Pto. Cisnes, is known as a condor nesting spot, so it's common to see them here). The cliff tops were easily a couple thousand feet above where we stood.

These are some really awesome shots! Thanks so much for sharing them!
Each of your photos is better than the last. The mountainside ones and the one of the roadway tracing its way through the forest are especially appealing. Thanks for sharing!
My dear Anita,
All of the photos are amazing and beautiful. The one with the sunrise or sunset was simply breathless to me. Yes, because it looked very romantic (smile). The bird...a wing span of 10.5...wow!! I won't want to get in his way (LOL). Thank you my dear friend for the little piece of history. You are also amazing to me (smile again).
You are a true master at capturing the beauty of nature. Great pictures, great works of art. As always you never fail nature.
Nature at its best with your excellent photography ~ so creative ~ (A Creative Harbor
Always good to have you visit ~ enjoy ^_^
I love how I scrolled down the photos looking at the rough texture of the rocks, the topography, the road and then suddenly! Photos of flowers and delicately leaved trees! wonderful n post.
As always, Anita, beautiful pictures of an amazing nature in Chile!
Even if the condor is a little fuzzy, because of the crop/enlargement, it gives us a good idea of just how big these birds are - thank you.
Naturally nice nature nook! :)
Oh, how beautiful! This is such an amazing planet, and Chile has some breathtaking sights!
I spent time at the Gift Fair in NY this week and met some vendors and artisans from Chile. The booth for the business CostaVolcano was so much fun!
