If you lived in Southern Chile, your Tuesday afternoon session might look something like this.
I ditched my gear for a few weeks to do some standard backpacking style travel in the Lake Region of Chile and saw this scene going on in a town called Puerto Varas. I sat there by the lake for about and hour and saw little white caps developing across the deep blue water. I started picturing myself zooming across the water in the incredible scene just moments before I saw that exact thing happening right before my eyes. A small part of me died that day knowing I couldn't join them, but I was happy to be able to grab some shots of these Llanquihue Lake windsurfers in front of Osorno Volcano as well as some other unidentified (by me) mountains.

Wow! That's a pretty scene. It looks like the Oregon of the Southern Hemisphere. Did that dude ever get planing?
These guys were planing a good amount... they were better centered in front of the volcano when they weren't planing though... ha!
I think there was a photo in a magazine recently that said you can't actually see the mountains in the Gorge from the water unless you're in exactly the right place. I thought the cool thing about this place is that you could always see the mountains from all directions on the lake they were sailing.
