Story:
During the last 40 years I have dedicated my passion for photography portraying Water in all its forms. For this image, we trekked up to an altitude of 4850 mts (15912 feet) to the bottom of a glacier. At this height there was glacier where the Zongo caves were found. The light came from above and painted the scene. Today this cave and other smaller glaciers in Bolivia are extinct due to Global Warming.
