Photographer's Note
AFETR READING SOME COMMENTS...
A CEMETERY, NOT A VILLAGE IS SEEN BELOW THE CAPTURE
About the mountain
Originated around seventy-five million years ago, formed by sea, lake and river sediments that were deposited in the area for centuries, the Cerro de los Siete Colores appears in Purmamarca as a wonderful backdrop situated at the very North of Argentina
About the cemetery
At the bottom is the cemetery of Purmamarca located at the altitude of about 3000 m above sea level
At first view it seems a village, small colored houses mixed with others several stories height
About the capture
I saw it all of the sudden, the driver didn't want to stop, we had a long way ahead, so I took the photo from the route, without time to cross it and have a close look at this

Hello Maria,
This is an incredible scenery, probably among the most spectacularly colored mountains in the world. I wonder what minerals are found here. The cemetery is almost as remarkable. Considering the circumstances you managed a terrific photo. But what kind of a driver was that, who didn't want to stop at an astonishing view like this?
Kind regards,
Gert

Hola Maria querida,
it would be impossible not to stop, stare and take photos, this place is absolutely fascinating and unique. Your hurried capture makes an effective presentation, the lighting contrasts and the colours are irresistible. An amazing cemetery so high in the mountains. Felicitaciones y gracias!

Hello Maria,
Too bad you couldn't stop and spend some more time there, not only to take pictures but also to enjoy this extraordinary and fantastic view.
Also the location of the cemetery is quite remarkable.
Are these colours always so clearly visible or does it depend of the light and the weather ?
Absolutely a stunning shot!
Best regards, Paul

Hi Maria. Your note is a total surprise as I was sure that these were houses. I suppose they are "houses" for the dead. incredible siete colores, but I think there are more than seven. it is frustrating when the driver doesn't have empathy with a photographer/tourist and I was lucky in Iran in that respect as our guide who was also the driver was more accommodating. Well done considering the desperate attempt to capture this unique place.Regards. Klaudio.

Hello Maria,
This photo is reminiscent of Painted Desert in the American Southwest. But having just critiqued Francesco's detailed shot from Mount Vesuvius, I find it reminiscent of his strata of rocks in the crater. You had excellent light to illuminate the rocks, and set it apart from the mountainous background.
.
Have a rejuvenating weekend,
Bulent

Hola Maria, I was more fortunate, I just went with a small organized group from Santa and the guide showed us all interesting places. In fact,this is not Cerro de Siete Colores de Purmamarca, this mountain and cemetery is Paleta del Pintor de Maimara.
Warm regards from Toscany

Hello Maria,
The dark shadow at the top adds both a superb graphic element and a nice warm color color contrast against the yellow red sections lower down, on account of its deep blue tint. Good sharpness and well framed and composed. I like the high vantage point. Tfs.

Hola Maria,
Nice taken from a moving bus, through the window.
Those mountains really unique and interesting multi-colors rocks.
Light enhanced the soil residue's texture, and fine clear shot from a distance.
Buen domingo,
Ike

Beautiful place for a cemetery I want to be buried there with beautiful view. Those rocks are very interesting especially the colors, very unusual. Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas also have interesting colors from red to rusty thus the name. I like your pov and it has good details. Well done, tfs.

Hi Maria,
You took this from a bus? Amazing scene, it looks you took all the time you needed to get the perfect view, so really well done for the result. I too thought this looked like a little village, it's a fascinating design for a cemetery, a little town of the dead placed right at the foot of these impressive multi colored and multi layered rocks. Your frame is very nicely done too, cool photo.
Cheers
Noel

Hello Maria,
What a breathtaking view of these mountains. The colours are just incredibly beautiful. The yellow of the lower part creates a nice contrast too and the village is also well included.

Au milieu c'est un peu mieux

Hola Maria.
Magnífica foto, la que nos muestras de este lugar tan fantástico, increible la variedad de colores en esas montañas, parece como si un ejercito de pintores, las hubiesen ido, dando color con sus pinceles, todo un espectáculo maravilloso.
Excelente composición y nitidez.
Maravillosa claridad y colores.
Muy bien realizado. Me gusta.
Que tengas un buen comienzo de semana.
Saludos cordiales.
Luis.

Hi Maria!
This is an amazing place and surely one of the most original cemeteries I've seen so far! The colourful mountains are simply magnificent and in a way they remind me of those in China. Great light also. Even from the bus, you managed to get a great shot!

Hello Maria,
You give us here a real sense of the scale and majesty of this amazing place, showing the incredibly rugged terrain and harsh climate. The colours of the mountains are so vivid it's almost hard to believe they're real, but look like they were painted ! The geological layers in the rock strata add interest, too. Well taken.
Regards,
Jean

Hola Maria,
this is really very impressive and if I could ever return to South America I dream about combining visit to desert regions on the borders of Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. Each country has something unique in their desert regions.
Great light here as if a spotlight was illuminating the most colorful fragment of the mountain range.
The houses at the foothills allow to imagine better the scale of the place,
Excellent work!
