Friday Field Photo #169: Hiking through the forest [UPDATE]

As a field geologist, you sometimes have to hike through areas of no exposed rock to get to the good stuff. In Patagonia, like many places, most of the really good outcrops are along ridge lines or at the tops of hills/mountains. Today’s photo is from a hike my field partner and I did through these enchanting woods on our way up one of these mountains. We sat here and had some lunch and it was as comfortable and serene as it looks in this photo.

Happy Friday!

UPDATE [later the same day]: I totally forgot that I shot a quick video with my camera in these woods right after snapping some photos.
