Sentinel of the Mist
Captured on a winding road to Guatapé, Colombia, this lone cow stood like a guardian over the cloud-kissed mountains. The morning fog wrapped around the hills like smoke rising from the earth, and for a moment, time stood still. There was something both eerie and sacred about the scene — as if nature herself had paused to let me witness it.
Shot in black and white to honor the quiet intensity of the moment, this image holds the spirit of rural Colombia: wild, weathered, and full of unspoken poetry.
