A photograph I like

This is my mates and me in front of a Larch tree (Fitzroya cupressoides)

Reserva Nacional Lanquihue January 2015

This photograph was taken by a classmate that we call "tata”. It is me and some of my classmates around a larch tree (Fitzroya cupressoides) that was over a thousand years, and I say "WAS" because the tree it is located in the national reserve Llanquihue near to the Calbuco vulcano that erupted like six or seven months ago, so that tree it is probably burned or buried by the volcanic materials.

This picture was taken in January, like three months before the Calbuco eruption. We were doing the university summer practice.

I really like this photo because it was a long trip through the forest to get to that larch tree, although it was a really exhausting trip, I loved the landscapes we saw and the nature was so amazing to see and study. I also like this picture because I am with my university mates that has become my friends.

I feel really fortunate because I knew that place before the natural catastrophe that maybe buried all the nature nearby the volcano. It will take so many years and generations to the nature to come back to its previous state.
