Dusty mountain

The burnt, golden brown and red wine hues of the desert stand in stark contrast to the deep blue sky behind Cerro Armazones. The mountain at first glance appears dusted with snow, but it is in fact dust turned loose by work being done on the mountain's peak in order to flatten it and create a seat for the ELT.
