The Garmin international topographic database is amazingly detailed and accurate. It's foreign airspace database, however, is not to be relied upon! (Story to follow.)

Lagos Todo los Santos and Llanquihue were once contiguous. The lava flow seen in the foreground of the picture from Volcan Osorno separated them.

I don't think portable cameras were too good and the flying machines left a lot to be desired back in those days, Don

Dan, I took a few collage curses back in the early 90's with a photography professor. He loved the abstract thinking in his students hated the record shots. Old Al would have gave a good mark for this reflected Rust photo. Your starting to develop and eye as he would say. Where most people would not see the beauty in the simple things the photographer seeks out what most can't see. Al would say this is a little busy but the eye dose follow the curve of the bow of the boat in the foreground and lead your eye to the boat behind it. The rust patterns almost look painted on but you know they are not. I like it and I would give a good mark for this one. Al.

There is a legend about the mountain. Before the Spanish arrived, several tribes of Huilliche lived peacefully on the land. A beautiful princess, LincayarUn, was born to a local chief. When she grew to be a young lady, she fell in love with a powerful warrior. Such powerful love did not go unnoticed.<br /><br />Living within the Mountain Osorno was an evil spirit and sorcerer, the Pillan. When the Pillan saw the princess he was smitten. After he discovered that she was betrothed to the warrior, he was furious with envy. He expressed that fury with fire and brimstone, blown from the mountaintop onto the Huilliche people.<br /><br />With their lands being devastated and in fear of extermination, the tribes gathered for a conference. At the meeting appeared an old man unknown to any of them. He explained that the land would be destroyed unless the most beautiful virgin in all the land was sacrificed to the Pillan.<br /><br />In their fear the people took heed of the sorcerer disguised as an old man. A search was made throughout the land for a sacrifice. It was quickly realized that the princess LincayarUn was fairest in the land.<br /><br />Her father, the chief, refused to take her life. LincayarUn stoically told him that she would give herself to save her people. She had only one demand, that none should touch her heart except her lover. The chief reluctantly agreed.<br /><br />Her warrior lover was anguished, but LincayarUn was determined to save her people. Her lover made her a bed of flowers in the ferns at the bottom of a gorge, Quebarada del Diablo. LincayarUn lay upon the bed, drank poison, and died. Her lover cried out as he plunged his hand into her chest and removed her heart.<br /><br />He took LincayarUn’s heart to the top of a nearby hill and placed it on a cinnamon-colored branch. A great condor appeared, ate the princess’ heart, then took the branch to the volcano, dropping it inside its molten crater.<br /><br />Pillan was not satisfied. His angry fires increased.<br /><br />From the heavens now a great white snow began to fall. It fell with such intensity as to battle down the fires of Pillan. Runoff from the snowmelt filled the surrounding land, forming the great Lago Llanquihue. The great good spirit continued to snow until it made an icy prison for the Pillan and his fires.<br /><br />The legend says that you can sometimes see the princess and her warrior dancing on the moonlit waters of the lake.<br />

As usual some awesome pictures. My question for you Dan is, you do a great job with pictures but have you thought of mounting some GoPro cameras on the Rey and some on the boat. I bet you could come up with some great videos, just a thought. Thanks once again for sharing.

Yeah, well, maybe I should have done that a long time ago, Charles. My story is that I'm not fast enough for video. Could be I think at still shot speed.

Two different types of photography. In the realm of photographer's the single well composed photograph is a much bigger challenge than video. You try to tell a story with both platforms but to be able to do it with a single photo is much more rewarding. In video you're capturing many photos hoping one portion of them well tell the story or the whole video in its entirety tells the story. I love photography, I do videos. When you start to feel photography you start looking at your world through different eyes then most. I am always taking pictures even when I don't have my camera. I don't take a lot of photographs anymore because I critique my own work before I even push the button. There are basic rules in photography that one should follow but you can step out of those rules if you're trying to convey a curtain feel or massage with your photography. They say a good photo is one that someone will look at for more than 10 seconds. If someone can not stop looking at the photo then you have a great one.

There's a pragmatic aspect to it, too, Russ. Shooting a video is the least part of making a movie that anyone would want to watch. The editing takes much longer and great care, and it's invisible if done well. You can do a lot of flying in the time it takes to make a passable video.

Initial, eh? I like the implications in that. <br /><br />And what a great place for seaplanes! And what excellent photos! Thanks, Dan.<br /><br />(Hey, wouldn't those guys like to take on an assistant for you, Dan? I happen to be available just now.)
