Mount Fitz Roy near town of El Chalten, Argentina

            This can be a tough mountain to photograph.  It's known to be engulfed in clouds for weeks at a time.  I've made two trips to El Chalten spending about 15 days there.  I feel lucky that on four of those days there were good conditions.  The rest of the days the mountain was hidden by clouds.

In this photo I'm standing at a popular spot overlooking the town of El Chalten.  It was a clear morning, not enough clouds for great sunrise colors, so I tried for a wider view combining the mountain with the town below.  It was dark enough that the city lights still showed brightly.
