makes for a great wallpaper

I think I've heard of this spot referred to as the Jewel of the Andes, but im sure many places get that label

Had a sip, was disappointed to find it was just water

Without a doubt, Peru has some of the most incredible landscapes in the world. The variety is stunning

Can't think of any other lakes with moraines. Certainly none in Canada

Peyote lake 😎

I can't remember the names of the lakes but the location is called Mirador Tres Lagunas in the Cordillera Huayhuash. Someone else mentioned that this is the Siula Pass and I think they are correct

It's a beautiful country full of wonderful people. I highly recommend visiting once things settle down

Yep, one of many incredible spots on the Huayhuash trail

Well... The one I was on was a rolling hill. The ones in the back certainly are not rolling

The editing I've done here is quite minimal. I bumped the contrast and sharpening a little bit to make the edges between the layers more well defined. A little increase in clarity can also help achieve this.

I don't think this is relevant to your photo, but for the sake of full disclosure I did edit the colour of this photo a little bit In the raw I found that each successive layer became slightly more orange than the last (likely because the haze was wildfire smoke) so I added a graduated filter with a slight blue tint to counteract the orange and give the layers a more uniform look.

Unfortunately I didn't take any that are portrait or could be cropped to fit a phone. I've wanted to use this as my phone wallpaper for a while but the super narrow crop just doesn't look very good.

There's a spot near the border where you can get a lot of layers to line up like this with Mount Baker being the highest layer. I took the photo once but it didn't turn out nearly as nicely as this one so I'll have to go back when the conditions are right

You may want to get that checked out, mate.

I think you are looking for "Atmospheric Perspective". This is a very extreme case of that effect.

Another commenter also mentioned that in Norway they have a special word for this https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/comments/104t514/comment/j382n9r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

That looks awesome!

I can assure you it's very real. The effect is created by a lot of haze in the atmosphere due to wildfire smoke. It's a nice photo, but a bit sad when you think about how much was lost to make it possible.

Yes there were high winds and thunderstorms in the late afternoon/early evening almost every single day we were there. It was good incentive to wake up early and hike fast to the next camp so you could wait out the storm in your tent rather than having to hike in the storm

Thank you :)

I agree, blue skies are nice to hike in but storms make for great photographs
