@narchuk Tuesday of Antarctica and World´s Oceans entry:

Hidden Gold of the Caribbean. Only by spending a lot of time underwater do you understand how sea treasures really look. It has nothing to do with man. It is a natural wealth and beauty. Every spark that flashed in the dark blue bears a part of this treasure. Fish are certainly one of them. Every find among the gently pricking branches of corals brings you joy. And if you stop and listen, you can feel the harmony of the sea. Bonaire Island, Caribbean Sea.

Last rays of light in Patagonia - South America

Screen Shot 2018-08-04 at 9.45.58 am.png

The last rays of light as the sunset comes is the best time for photography. In Patagoina, Southern South America the icy towers in the west block the sun as the Earth continues from day to night. A lone boat in the lake creates cool diffraction patterns of the reflection of the mountains and mountain halo. Hope you enjoy this personal photo.

This photo is also posted on my blog.

Great shot. I really like the ripples in the water. Awesome job.

Thank you @derangedvisions! I like your work too! Cheers!

Stunning image, thank you so much for sharing with all of us.

Poincenot camping site - Mount Fitz Roy - El Chaltén (Argentina)
I believe that there are places that we go, and there are places that we go and are eager to return. Once I was living in the woods of El Chaltén in front of one of the most magestic places I've ever been, the raw power of nature empowering our bodies. After days of waiting, finally we could see the top uncovered from the clouds.

In a walk I did on a beach in the city of Porlamar on the island of Margarita, I found this boat that caught my attention because of its colors, it is typical of this island to see boats on the shore of the beach, I think They are special because it is part of their culture. I loved the color of the sea together with the seagulls.

Photo of the Iglesia de la Candelaria a Catholic church in Bogota, Colombia. It is located in the neighborhood of La Candelaria at the historical center of the city. It was built at the end of the XVII century. It is a fine example of the colonial architecture of Latinoamérica. An important feature of this church is the unusual yellow color of its paint, originally it was painted white.

Puerto de Cumana - Sucre State (Venezuela).
rps20180804_125921.jpg
This is one of the photos I took on my first trip to Sucre state, at a time when economic activity flourished and abounded as in the case of fish. Today the crisis has ended all this activity in all areas of this country, and the sale of local fishing has moved to the foreigner. This image is what remains of those good times.

While visiting Humahuaca, Argentina, the quebrada around the city is a must. The view on the mountains is amazing and we come across some harsh climate that generate some cool images like this one.

Today I want to share a photograph I took of a very famous natural monument in my country: "Las Tetas de María Guevara". It is formed by two twin hills and is located in the center of Isla de Margarita, near the "La Restinga" lagoon. They owe their name to the great resemblance they have to a woman's breasts.

This photo is from the Cuare Nature Reserve, within the Morrocoy National Park in the state of Falcón - Venezuela. Place characterized by being a refuge for wildlife, mainly birds and where they will delight with such beauty of landscapes during their journey.
