EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking aerial shot captured by Guillermo Granja, the majestic double peak of the Illinizas emerges from the clouds as a stunning natural wonder. Taken during a flight to Quito, Ecuador, on April 24,2011, this print showcases the awe-inspiring beauty of these mountains located in their namesake ecological reserve. Standing tall at an impressive height of 5,248 meters (17,218 feet), Illiniza Sur dominates the frame with its rugged and imposing presence. Its companion peak, Illiniza Norte, reaches a slightly lower altitude but still commands attention at 5,126 meters (16,818 feet). Together they form an extraordinary sight that leaves viewers in awe of nature's grandeur. The contrasting colors and textures within this photograph add depth and dimension to the scene. The softness of the clouds creates a striking juxtaposition against the sharp edges and rocky surfaces of these towering peaks. As sunlight filters through breaks in the cloud cover, it casts ethereal rays upon their slopes. This image not only highlights Ecuador's remarkable landscape but also serves as a reminder of our planet's precious environmental treasures. It invites us to appreciate Earth's natural wonders while urging us to protect and preserve them for future generations.
