Bitterroot and Bergamot

Argentina blue, originally uploaded by Bitterroot.

Here, we were riding along the shore of Lake Nahuel Huapi on the east side of the Andes in Argentina. I loved the purity of the deep blues, broken only by the single boat riding at anchor in the foreground. This was a gentle grade, preparing for the steep climb up the east slope of the Andes and over the pass into Chile. And no, I wasn't one of the few who made it all the way up to the top without a ride in the van! It was an extremely rigorous trip and my hat is off to those who rode up over the top and down the other side.
