Happy New Year! I start this year with one of my most favorite photos of 2022.
Never have I been so nervous during photographing - not because of the predator but because I did not want to miss this chance.
A puma in its natural habitat in Chile only several meters away on our hiking path. Just at the last part of our hike at the O-Trek in Torres Del Paine Nationalpark. This was really a perfect highlight at the end of this stunning backpack hike.
