WI_ec238.jpg

Late afternoon view from Cruz Loma towards S. The Eastern Cordillera (Volcán Cotopaxi hidden in clouds) is seen on the left side, Quito in the centre and the Western Cordillera in the right portion of the image. Volcán Chimborazo (6268 m) is seen in the very distant central background. This photograph was taken during a foehn situation with winds coming from the Pacific side.
