Patagonia Impressions

I went on a 3 and a half week bicycle trip on the Carretera Austral, or Southern Highway in Patagonia, Chile in January of 2019. It was the trip of a lifetime and 'Patagonia Impressions' is a reflection of my experience. Recognizable elements include the 2 condors at the top, our route - the stones that wind path-like through the mosaic, the bicycle wheel, which can also be interpreted as a compass. The little bit we saw of Argentina was a sparse landscape all golden and yellow which accounts for the right side of the mosaic. The colors of this part of Chilean Patagonia are dominated by a unique turquoise/teal of some of the lakes and rivers in the landscape. Texture extends to the border of the mosaic, a nod to the omnipresent rough and rocky road of our adventure.
