Description La Paz, Bolivia, taken from one of the viewpoints in the city.

If you ever get lost in La Paz, just walk downhill and at one point you'll end up in centrum. The city is like a bowl, with a height difference of 400 meters, the drivers there are exeptionally good at starting cars in slopes.

More pictures from my trip to South America

Post-processing
Ligthened a bit in camera raw, lightened some more with a curves layer, and darkened the shadows with another one. Turned up the contrast more with a black and white layer set to soft light (50%). Gave the picture a more yellowish tone by adjusting mainly the blue channel with curves.

Added a tiny bit of vignetting and cropped to square.

I have no idea, what I do know is that they are extremely good at starting the cars at an angle

Beautiful shot. Good eye. The only problem Ihave with the shot is that when I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a basweball diamond. I can't have everything.

Still a well captured shot.
