Grey Glacier & on to El Calafate

We stayed at a hotel within Torres del Paine National Park that was on Lago Grey, so the day we left the area, we were able to go on the boat to tour Grey Glacier.

That was the view from our hotel. As we walked along the beach, we could see a bit of the glacier, as well as icebergs from it.

As the boat got closer, we could see the two arms of the glacier…

… and my favorite - - reflections!

I loved all the different colors - brown, green, white, blue…

Just a pretty juxtaposition:

Looks like some kind of Pokemon to me(!)…

… and I really liked the contrasts -

Here’s one just to give you a little scale -

What a view!

This looked like a chapel to me -

This next one has a number of neat things (very interesting rectangular face, blue light peeking through in the upper right, and scalloped edges of the ranks extending back) -

Even though I think of the black as being “dirty”, it provides a neat contrast to the white and blue -

As we bade goodbye to Torres del Paine…

… we came into areas that were completely different -

a whole lot of nothin’!

As we meet the denizens of the desert…

Guanaco and Darwin’s Rheas

… I’ll bid you adieu -
