A peaceful moment when Copenhagen took a siesta while everyone was abroad

So I climbed the high Andes above Banos in central Ecuador in the Valley of the Volcanoes. You cannot see Tungurahua Volcano as it is hidden behind a veil of clouds but it is one of the most active in Ecuador. It started erupting at the turn of the millennium and is still rumbling today.

The peak is 16,500 feet above sea level and although I was on the other side of the valley, I could definitely feel the high Andes air.

I loved the view where we can see the landscaped fields where people live where crops are grown.

You can see Banos in the lower left where the valley stretches east towards the Amazon :)

The late afternoon sun threw some spears of light across the landscape and everything was quiet until I clicked the shutter.

Arriving into Ecuador and Cotopaxi awoke with a huff a puff to celebrate a new day.

This photo was taken on the day after arriving in Quito as I walked to the end of a country lane where we stayed over night before heading out to Cuenca.

So beautiful, so powerful, so majestic yet so dangerous. I never felt threatened but I was in awe...

Decided to head to the White Rock Pier one early morning when I knew the Mist would be prowling about.

There is a Metallic Art Piece that I have photographed before and this atmosphere was perfectly set with lighting on the sculpture and on the pier.

this was my first time photographing through the Sculpture toward the pier and I reveled in the interplay of the vibrant lighting from below the sculpture and the Pier. The lights cycle through a prism of bright colours every minute or so from Red through Yellow, Purple, Green and a few colours in between.

Through the Eye, you can see the lighting on the pier and the railway crossing to the promenade.

The lights are only turned on just before dawn (and dusk) and last for about an hour.

Very peaceful with the sun rising through the fog toward a clear day.

One day last summer enjoying photographic opportunities where modern architecture meets the old town in a festive square of sunlight and your beverage of choice

Used a wide-angle 14-24 and decided to play with straightening the vertical lines and see what came up.
