Story:
During January and February, which is summertime in Chile, the weather in the Southern part can be unpredictable; we decided to have our vacation before Christmas. December used to be a dry month. On our way to the Puyehue National Park, clouds started to gather. My wife asked me to stop so the children could stretch their legs, so I did and found a small wooden bridge. From above I saw the perfect composition and got down to take the photograph.
After taking the first image I was trying to see other views when snowflakes appeared in the scene. Although we were at a high altitude, at this time of the year you would seldom see snow. I was about to pack my camera when I visualized this image, where snow had gathered on the large leaf. The weather had changed…, it rained during the entire vacation, you can imagine how happy the children were.
