The beauty of Chilean Patagonia is often hard to describe but once you've seen it, you never forget it. This week for Alphabe-Thursday, where we honor the quirky letter Q, I'll try to show you some of the qualities of this exquisite land that are quintessentially Patagonia. I think you'll see what I mean...
The windswept landscapes...
The gem-like colors of the water...
The golden poplars (los alamos) in the fall...
The sunsets and wind-sheered lenticular clouds...
The ever-present caracaras...
The swift and powerful rivers...
The jagged mountain tops....
The glacier covered mountain giants...
The lush bogs that fill the glacial cut valleys and fjords...
The majestic scenes that defy description and inspire awe and wonder.
The dramatic skies...
The wide open spaces...
The ruggedness of the towering mountains...
The gem-like colors of the water...
The golden poplars (los alamos) in the fall...
The vibrant rainbows seen almost daily...
The roads that are intertwined with river beds...
The soft sunrises...
The majestic scenes that defy description and inspire awe and wonder.
This is quintessential Patagonia that I know and love.

Anita, you could have a one-woman photography exhibit! Have you ever had one??
Ah, stunning beauty there! I would be homesick if that was my home country:)Your design skills come out in several of them. Love that photo with the row of trees in the water:)
Yes, it is true these beautiful pictures are the quintessence, a delight.
Your quintessentially Patagonia shows it to be very pretty. I might like to go if it were not so far. I know I would like the rainbows.
