Story:
Vacationing to the Island of Chiloé, could be tricky as it’s always raining, and the view has a grey tint. This time we had blue sky, as it did not rain during the entire 14 days that we stayed. Was hoping to find a small waterfall, but found none. I went out scouting on a canoe on a small lake named Coihuin . I had to be very stable and careful not to flip and have to fish for the heavy and expensive photographic equipment.
On the opposite side of the lake I found these branches. I had a lot of trouble getting out of the canoe and trying to stand and walk. The rocks covered with algae were very slippery, but finally I made it, and took various images. These are a color images converted to B&W of the sunken branches at Coihuin
