One of the schools where I taught
On our way to another shopping trip to a very interesting place, 2 hours from Bariloche, called El Bolson
Some rose hip growing by the lake
El Bolson is a cool arts and crafts community. The market in El Bolson is very well known for its leather, ceramics, silver, glass, fruit, veg, cakes, beer .... it was brilliant, in such a fabulous setting, and of course I bought too much stuff.
El Bolson in the middle of the mountains (you may think every place I've photographed is, but El Bolson really is). It has its own micro climate and despite the whole drive there you are driving in snow, in El Bolson it just stops. It never snows here and it felt like a summers day to me, like i'd suddenly been transported to Europe for summertime!
We had lunch by the river. I commented how it reminded me of having lunch by a river in spain, apart from the fact the rivers are all dried up in the summer. Here it's the opposite. In the summer the rivers have much more water in them from the melting ice caps.This is the river in winter of course
Picturesque river and not a soul in sight for miles and miles. Just crazy amounts of rose hip adding a bit of colour
It's amazing to walk back from a night out to this around you ... (in the early hours)
My last morning ...
The lake turned purple
bye bye beautiful Bariloche
I am now in Buenos Aires, have been here for two weeks today. It has been a shock to system being dropped into a huge, buzzing city having just come from such a vast, natural landscape. I doubt I'll have so many landscapes to take photos of, but I'm sure there'll be other wonderful things to photograph ....
