Self-portrait.
This picture was taken in the national parc of Torres del Paine, in chilean patagonia.
This lake, named Lago Pehoe, has this very distinctive shade of blue from glaciars melting and leeking into it.
Water was 4 degrees celsius.
I managed to take 5 shots before beginning to think I wasn't very reasonnable. Couldn't feel my feet for 10 minutes when I got out. The wind was 80 km/h, creating those waves you can maybe see. They may not seem impressive, but you gotta consider this is not the sea, that's just a medium sized lake ^^
Anyway, it was an intense shot!
I hope you enjoy it!
