The peaks above the glacier

New Journal 9 – Self Belief

The heavy rain we’re experiencing today is giving us a good opportunity to plan without distractions. Tomorrow we’ll head north up this thin country, continuing our adventure around lesser known areas.

It’s funny, Rachel and I consider ourselves adventurous to some degree. Yet, in our accommodation there is an English couple who’ve spent the last 3 years driving around the world in a Land Rover Defender. Their stories are epic. With no access to cash at times and all sorts of mechanical failures, they’ve found themselves staying at incredible and supposedly dangerous places, sometimes for weeks at a time.

Each morning we eat breakfast together and chat about life and our travels for a couple of hours. I find it difficult to understand how they’ve had the personal strength to pursue such an incredible adventure.

As we speak, their car sitting outside with a completely destroyed rear axle. They had to hitchhike here from the national park when it happened. It really does require serious personal confidence to live that life.

Today’s Photo – The peaks above the glacier

These are the mountains that sit behind Perito Moreno glacier. I felt that there was no benefit in creating an HDR from this scene. Little to information would have been recovered and it wouldn’t have enhanced the image. Instead, most of the editing was done in Lightroon and finished in Photoshop.
