Lonely Atitlan Paddler

Lonely Atitlan Paddler
GUAT07D-86
June 28, 2007

In the northern reaches of Guatemala, high in the mountains, lies Lake Atitlan.  This is a common stop for backpackers and visitors to the region, as there are numerous towns dotted along the coast, which then rises high into the jungle to climb ancient volcanoes.  This one morning, before the sun rose above the mountains, rode a single paddler across the water, everything in shades of blue. It was a peaceful morning, and I feel that this image reflects that atmosphere, the lone man setting off on the water in the cool of the morning.  Enjoy.
