PATAGONIA: Torres del Paine...The most beautiful place in the World

Love the picture of the guanacos with the mountains behind...
and also the one of you and Denise with the mountains. Not knowing where I would be able to buy gas would have stressed me a bit, but you have all the luck, including the great weather.

Torres del Paine
I almost stopped reading at Yankee Stadium. Those are fighting words for most of us Americans. They Yankees are well hated by many sports fans. "The dirt road descended along a turquoise lake...into heaven. There is no prettier road on the planet. " .....and the pictures are worth a thousand words. Amazingly beautiful. We've got to get to this part of the world.

Why so expensive?????!!!!!!!!
I haven´t been to Torres del Paine yet. I knew it was expensive but never that expensive. Thank you for your information on how to handle things and finding better places..... I am sorry you had to experience the gas strike in Argentina. Wonderful pictures.

Beautiful!
Will try to cycle up there one of these days... Keep posting!

Don't like it!
Reading yours and Tara's blogs about southern Chile and Argentina ignites a longing nostalgia. China is about as far from there as its possible to be in the world...and I'm not just talking about distance. I never did blog in detail about our time there - just dumped a couple hundred pictures on Travelblog at the time, since our laptop succumbed to the elements. But if yours and Tara's blogs are anything to go by; the backlogging of these blogs is a particularly sweet endeavour. So to my fantasy, the only thing that keeps me sane reading these. We all go down there together for a leisurely few months living our shared memories through each others experiences and eyes. That's a blog, a book, a documentary, a movie and one spectacular adventure

Mountains, mountains, and more mountains...
...oh, lots of cute guanacos too... What a beautiful place (it's also the only place in the world outside of Wales that has people who speak the Welsh language!)... I've added it to my bucket list but, alas, there are more places on the list than I have years to live... Thanks though for allowing me to see some of it without having to go there!

Aaaaahhhhh
This is soooooo beautiful!

Amazing
Love this photo!

Inspirational place.
Saw one of your pictures for this blog on the home page. Looks and sounds like heaven. I agree every picture has a bit of magic in it. I didn't realise how adventurous you were, really taking that risk with the gas. Inspiring trip!!

The List
This was on it, now even more so. The trek? Hmm, beginning to wonder if that will happen. Arghh - tough choices!

My Thoughts about this Photo of Yours!!
Hello David, Long time no see mate; this is Kenneth, my mother and I saw you a while ago at Clarinda Street; we all ended up trying to spot Superb Lyrebirds together; you showed me some photos you took of black cockatoos which you said you had never photographed before at that location!!! I've been a bit busy, but I took another look through your gallery and find myself really loving looking at this image of yours!!! Everything about it is a pleasure for the eyes; divinely beautiful scene in the back and a most truly 'tremendously' marvellous animal in the front; what a spectacular encounter, definitely a shot of yours for the highlights reel, as this would be a one off occasion!!! Exquisitely beautifully well done on taking this photograph during a majorly exhilarating moment which is when the heart would be pounding that extra bit harder David!!! It must have been such a euphorically and 'sublimely' phenomenally beautiful, memorable, grand and beautiful day for you!!! =DDD =)))) I hope this message finds you doing 'stratospherically' breathtakingly beautifully and 'unequivocally' immeasurably specially well; perhaps one of these days I will see you at Clarinda Street again and we'll both be able to get some 'profoundly-majorly' exquisitely special photographs of black cockatoos, super lyrebirds courting and the like?!! =DDD =)))) Wishing you the absolute very best, and I wish you so 'infinitely' immeasurably specially well as well, Kenneth!!! =))))

Re: My reply to your reply to my comment on your Photo
I'm so very glad to hear that David; I'm spectacularly happy to hear that everything came together perfectly for you and to hear that this is one of your favourite photographs!!! All the very best to you, Kenneth!!! =DDD =))))
