Photo Of The Day By Harry Lichtman

Photo By Harry Lichtman

Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Alpamayo—Perfect by Nature” by Harry Lichtman. Location: Cordillera Blanca, Peru.

“While trekking in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca portion of the Andes, I was able to capture the 4,000-foot face of 19,511-foot Alpamayo, one of the world’s most beautiful mountains,” says Lichtman. “The triangular portion of the summit is ominous yet beautiful at the same time. The early morning sidelight helped bring out the textures of the glacier and blowing snow.”
