Photographer’s comment: “Photo shot in the highlands of central Ecuador on the way to a field site on the edge of Sangay National Park. I like this photo because it’s a beautiful landscape shot and because it shows the multi-functional landscape of the Andean highlands. A mix of forested ridges and cultivated valleys punctuated by villages, winding paths, wooded riparian areas and grazing fields divided by windbreaks.”
