This is Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Patagonia is one of the last untouched frontiers on Earth. It is a desolate, quiet and peaceful place -- which makes the shores of Laguna Azul the perfect spot for contemplative thought.

Re: Blue Skies Contest Submission

I have been reading your interesting blog messages. I also heard you speaking on the radio in Minneapolis, on FM107.1. After hearing you speak I was very intrigued and impressed so I purchased your book. Thank you for your inspiration. I own a small business and would love to get in cotact with you and get your insight on an idea I have. My business is Encore Interior Decorating and Professional Organizing. My website is encoreinteriordecorating.com. I know I am asking a lot but I would really appreciate if I could get in contact with you and just take 5 minutes of your time. Please consider my request. Thank you. Email: gloriaeber@myclearwave.net

This picture is beautiful. The blue of the water contrasts perfectly with the desolate landscape! My favorite spot to think is by the water too, just not in Argentina!

Terrific composition and the blue color of the water is a beautiful contrast to the landscape. The snow covered mountains in the background help to trigger a relaxed, meditative mood.

While I'm in no way an expert (and most likely would be called the exact opposite), I think this picture is amazing. I'm really intrigued by the contrast in the components of the elements in the photo. Well done.

Amazing photo! I feel like I can hear the cool breeze and lapping of the water against the shore.
Great job.

Re: Laguna Azul, Torres del Paine National Park, Chile

The photograph is an interesting study of contrasts - the stark black and greys of the tree, the sensuous, soft deep blues of the water and the undulating mountains that combine both invitation and warning - create an interesting juxtaposition, a mood that is both inviting and harsh.

The blue of the lively blue of the lake with the focus and barrness of the tree make this a great contrast.
