Ecuadorian Landscapes

Some landscapes and such from a recent trip to Ecuador. Many many more will come, including a series or two. Until then...


A view of the sky at the top of Mt. Tungurahua, a very large, very active volcano (near the city of Ambato).





The area is full of gorgeous landscapes...I was able to grab several while on the bus to and from a small village up in the mountains called 'Sucre'.


One of the waterfalls in and/or near Banos, Ecuador. This shot was taken right next to a gondola lift that takes passengers across the river and over the waterfall (it's incredibly fun).


Another waterfall, much more intense than the one shown above. This one is only reachable (to photograph) by hiking down a mountainside and across a rather sketchy suspension bridge. You can actually hike up behind the waterfall and touch the water as it falls from the top. It's rather intimidating.


An evening view of Tungurahua. It was possible to hear (and feel) explosions from inside the volcano, even from several miles away. There were several times at night when you could go outside and actually see lava pouring down the mountain.




Again, others coming soon.
