Postcard: Flying flamingos in Torres del Paine National Park

I took this photo at Laguna Amarga in Chile’s beautiful Torres del Paine National Park. When I first spotted them, these flamingos were standing in the water, but I could tell they were getting ready to fly. I kept my camera trained on them, and when they took off, I managed to track them and get this shot. The snowy mountain in the background was an unexpected bonus.
