The Lagunas de Atillo are a picturesque series of lagoons backed by the jagged Andean peaks. They are part of the Ozogoche lake complex, composed of 55 lagoons, in the foothills of the Ecuadoian Cordillera Real. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding grasslands, offering the chance to enjoy panoramas of the lagoons and mountains, streams, and waterfalls, and look for the many species of plants and animals that inhabit these mountains above the Amazon basin. The cold, high-altitude weather, and isolated landscape make it easy to believe the stories of the Puruháe people drowning criminals in the frigid waters in pre-Columbian times. (Sangay National Park, Ecuador) It was raining hard and thick black clouds covered the whole sky. Moreover, it was 3 PM. Not an hour to enjoy beautiful lights. But I was not far away so I went to the spot, under the rain. After a while the rain stopped and some gaps appeared in the dramatic sky. A few frames later I was able to capture a perfect lighting of shadows and lights spots.
