I'm such a big fan of Ann Street Studio work and even though I get surprised e.v.e.r.y.s.i.n.g.l.e post they create, I am particularly thrilled with these ones from Chile.
What on earth makes you choose such
an outlandish part of the world to go to? What can be the attraction?
These, and similar questions and exclamations I heard from the lips of
my friends and acquaintances, when I told them of my intended trip to
Patagonia, the land of the Giants. What was the attraction in going to
an outlandish place so many miles away? The answer to the question was
contained in its own words. Precisely because it was an outlandish place
and so far away, I chose it. Palled for the moment with civilization
and its surroundings, I wanted to escape somewhere where I could be as
far removed from them as possible. There I would be able to penetrate
into vast wilds, virgin as yet to the foot of man. Scenes of infinite
beauty and grandeur might be lying hidden in the silent solitude of the
mountains that bound the barren plains of the Pampas, into whose
mysterious recesses no one as yet had ever ventured.
