Story:
After lunch, I decided to take my children (three and five years old) for a ride. At about 3:30PM we arrived to La Cumbre. It is the highest part of the road between La Paz and the Yungas region (approximately 4,650 meters, 15,255 feet).
The children wanted to play with snow, we parked at roadside and walked toward the snow patches. On a small hill I found the frozen water stalactites. I mounted the tripod hoping that the high altitude strong wind would lower its speed, so I could take the photographs. The ice also captured the photographer.
