Photo-Finish Friday - A Few Minutes From the End of the World

Tierra del Fuego.

During our bus tour in Tierra del Fuego we stopped along a lake to have a walk along the shore. It was relaxing and invigorating at the same time.
All stops should be.
I took about 600 photos during our cruise from Argentina to Chile and I took as many as I possibly could while Tierra del Fuego. I'd wanted to go there since I was 12. I've long forgotten why, but the name alone is compelling.
This spot is close to the south end of the land, but it wasn't quite the end of the world.

Gorgeous vista. That great tree sets the stage beautifully.

I'm glad you were able to go there. Realizing a childhood dream is a wonderful and rare treasure. Good for you. :)
