Photo of the Day: A Good Luck Sunset
| Taken by Jason | 4 Comments » | Photo of the Day
San Pedro de Atacama is a Chilean town and commune in El Loa Province, Antofagasta Region. It is located east of Antofagasta, some 106 km (60 mi) southeast of Calama and the Chuquicamata copper mine, overlooking the Licancabur volcano. There are various activities for tourist and adventurers in the San Pedro de Atacama area: trekking, climbing, archaeological sightings, exploration tours in natural landscapes and even sand boarding in the desert. Because of its altitude, a brief period of acclimatization may be required.
Valle de la Luna (“Valley of the Moon”), a moon-like landscape with ruins of old Chilean salt mines, and worker huts. Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley): a valley where gigantic dunes and rocks abound. – Wikipedia

I never get tired of sunset shots. This is stunning.
Very artistic sunset photo. I have to start waking up early because I hardly ever waking up early enough for a sunset.
At first I thought that was a Canadian Inukshuk, then I saw it was down South. They look very similar though!
All over South America they stack rocks at high points, points close to God or the Sun.
