Circumnavigating the Lake

Image by Stuck in Customs
This is yet another glacier-filled lake in the mountains between Chile & Argentina. I got up pretty high on a short hike to get this shot. I had seen this bright tuft of red leaves and wanted to work it into the final product. We were on the edge of autumn and a few leaves were starting to change colors. Most of the leaves were not in any interesting compositional angles or were impossible to get near! So this one took a bit of a hike to find and set up…
Also, thanks to everyone on Twitter and Facebook that became agitated when the cop threatened to arrest me because I looked like a professional photographer with my tripod in front of the Coke museum. Anyway, Coke saw the message on Twitter and via several emails that were sent in – so thank you Gail and all the others that helped! Props to Coke Social Media (see down in comment 55) for the response.
And last, I’ll be on FOX here in Austin this (Tuesday) morning for the morning news… A little interview at sunrise. It’s midnight and I should be asleep right now… okay here I go.

Awesome!! Great shot, Trey
Wonderful!
excellent Trey!
Beautiful shot Trey! The red of the bunch of leaves is such a great contrast to the green and blue of the grass and the sky! Your eyes are drawn right to that first and then expand to the rest of the view! I great touch of snow on the distant peaks! Very Beautiful!!!
Beautiful ‘scape image~!~
things go better with Coke..a Cola
DUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!!!! this is oustanding!!! wondefull!
Hey, Trey, I went through the EXACT same thing. But mine’s is better. I have alot of family in Georgia so i was there this summer visiting. I was setting up my tripod in almost the identical spot you were in, and in came the police. They said i looked like a pro and that if i want to take pics, i could do so, without my tripod. Then, the head of Security, and the head of Media Relations for Coke came out onto the lawn to meet and question me. I told them i was on vacation and that it was not for profit. It was very upsetting to be harrassed so badly, so i know the feeling. My run in took place in the day time. I did manage to squeeze off a few shots anyway. Great shot here by the way.
beatiful location
Wonderful capture.
*sigh*

Great shot!
Beautiful scene.
The trees and the mountain slope looks soft and they accentuate the lush greenery, the rugged landscape and the blue waters which seems to meld with each other very well.
