[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A storm was coming when I was climbing the path on Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca, Peru.

This wasn't the first pictures I took on my trip to Peru, but it is definitely my favourite.

Taquile is an island which sits on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca 45 km offshore from the city of Puno. It is inhabited by c.1200 people. The island is 5.5 by 1.6 km in size, with an area of 5.72 km˛. The highest point of the island is 4050 m and the main village is at 3950 m.
Taquile, whose Quechua name is Intika, was made a part of the Inca Empire in the 13th c.. The island was one of the last locations in Peru to capitulate to Spanish domination during the Spanish conquest of Peru. It was captured for Carlos V and eventually passed to Count Rodrigo of Taquila, who inspired the island's current name. The Spanish forbade traditional dress and the islanders adopted the Spanish peasant dress that they are known for still using today.

Hi,
This picture has a great mood. We clearly feel that a storm is approaching with those dramatic tones of colors and natural exposure. I also like the way you composed this scenery. Well seen!

The path leads to the storm. This is pretty. I like "weather" photos. I took some photos recently where the sky was purple/pink and stormy looking. Pretty awesome to see how big the sky is compared to us.

Hello Morgwathien,I like your Pov, it makes me feel as if I am on this footpath too.The diagonal of the land makes a good composition.
Lovely natural colours and sharpness.
The shadow of the coming storm emphasises the horizon.
Tfs, regards Jean.
