Photo Notes: At 4,500m (14,000 ft), creativity and inspiration challenge the photographer, but when my friend handed me his Sigma 10-20mm to try out, I was galvanized by what I saw in the viewfinder. Bad weather pushes over the high pass of the Portachuelo de Llanganuco from the Amazon basin, bringing snow to the Llanganuco Valley of Peru's Huascaran National Park.
