The evening before climbing the Tunupa, before dinner, I went off running on the trail to the volcano. Next day I was to break for the first time the 4810-m barrier: this made me a little worried and I wanted to be trained at best. Short after sunset I reached this majestic stone man marking the point where the trail leaves the mountain flank dominating Coqueza to begin a long traverse to the bulk of the volcano. Although not equipped with a headlamp, I lingered a little taking photographs, since I knew that after 15 min of good footpath I would find the blank road to the village. Actually, I in the falling darkness I missed the traverse to the road, following straight down the trail that went to die among the fields, separated from each other by a regular web of stone walls. I don't remember how many of them I had to surmount in the now complete darkness, caring not to break an ankle, before reaching - after two hours or so - the dim lights of the village that were my unique guide...

Regardless, I would be proud to have a similar view in my collection.
Cheers & Saludos! Augustin
I think that the problem is that the salar (12.000 square km) looks like infinite without being such, and thus its natural swelling in the center is perceived like a layout error. The fact that the mountains on the right are barely visible, together with the closely-lying skew line in the sky, do not help to convey an impression of correctness. However, now that I have more time to play with this things, I can make some experiment. I already tried to play around with the horizon, but then the mountain line on the right curved visibly.
