Description:
Printed with a 12 inkjet printer over Hahnemühle Baryta paper. Signed certificate of authenticity.
Story:
Laguna de Aculeo was a small lake 85 kilometers South of Santiago, a place where I made many images related to water 20 years ago; especially during the rainy season that over-flooded the lake, invading gardens and lowland near it.
Sadly today, the lake has totally vanished due to the excessive use of water by all the housing development built around it, as well as the lack of rain for many years that has also contributed.
This image is of the time that the lake had its splendor.
