    Nice! I was there a few months ago, just before the rainy season. A bit drier then :-)

    Wow, that reflection is amazing! Ahh, I need to get out more. And yeah, anytime you go past f/8 or so on full-frame wider than 35mm, ...get ready for dust! :-(

    #5 is my favorite too, as well as that big snowy mountain. It's easier to comment on them if you number them next time. deal.gif

    I lived in Bolivia for some years and the salt flats is one of my favorite places on this earth.
    I love your reflection shots.

    Bolivia doesn't get mentioned enough on tourist sites, but it is a gorgeous country and the high altitude of La Paz gives you killer views too. Any landscape shooter should visit if they are able to.

    Thank you for reminding me of some of its beauty.

    and then there is always the video....
