We had our winter break like 3 weeks ago here,so had a 5 days vacation. We went to the north-west part or Argentina...

Sorry I didn't post these pics before, I've been a little bit lazy :o

I love the Pepsi sign in this one

Then we visited some Inca ruins. The interesting thing about this place is that archeologists have done so much research yet, so there must be lots of things hidden under the ground...

Then we went through another road....

Beautiful flowers on a tree

[Toby's my baby]

OMG, WONDERFUL pictures!! :eek: I enjoyed each and every one of them!! They are all stunning! I especially loved the fog ones! You are a wonderful photographer!! I'm in aw of these photos!!!

[Jadapit]

Bored? Are you kidding? I loved everyone of those pictures. What a beautiful place!! This is one of the things I love about PT. People live all over the world and it's the only way I will ever get to see these places. Thank you so much for sharing these with us. :D

I have to say one more thing, the knittings are amazing, such bright beautiful colors.

[RobiLee]

I wasn't bored at all! I love seeing pics from other countries, especially since I will probably never visit there. Wondeful photos and thank you so much for sharing them.

[sparks19]

WOW beautiful pictures. What amazing buildings and gorgeous landscapes.

[cyber-sibes]

Wow, what a neat place! beautiful cathedrals, sweeeping vistas, interesting plants...and is that a husky-mix sitting in the doorway? ;)

[Karen]

Great pictures, thank you so much for sharing! I said to Paul, "Yup - this is a Pet Talkers set of vacation pictures! It has one of a local dog she met on vacation!" Lovely, lovely churches, vistas and scenery - and Incan ruins - so neat! What cities or landmarks that I could find on a map were you near?

[Daisy and Delilah]

Those pictures are nothing short of incredible!! Actually, I can't find the proper words to describe them. Some of them have ice in them. How cold was it? With ice and no snow, does that mean it was freezing cold and too cold to snow? Thanks for sharing!! :)

[dukedogsmom]

You and I have a lot of the same taste. I love photographing buildings and unusual archtecture. That 2nd cathedral is stunning! I envy you getting to see it. This is my favorite pic.

Would you possibly be willing to email me that full sized? I just love it. 2nd favorite would either be the window or the view up the hill with all the stones. Great pics!

[k9krazee]

WOW! Awesome pictures, I loved each and every one of them...thank you so much for sharing!

[Anita Cholaine]

Thank you so much everybody!! I really appreciate all your comments, guys....

We stayed in a city called Catamarca (located in the Catamarca province)

I have no idea how cold it exactly was on that moment, but I can say that I had never been in such a cold place in my whole life! My fingers were so frozen that it was even hard to take pics :p

Of course! Just give me your mail adress :)
