From the banks of Lake Pehoe at Torres Del Paine National Park. The view from the breakfast table was not much different to this (just later in the morning.)
The weather down here changes daily. Good weather lasts about 18 hours (or less) but equally on another day, it started raining at 7am and was still raining at 11am.
The best way to get shots like this is to stay at Hosteria Pehoe. My first time there and I was paying $180 (single) for a Motel-6 style room. I guess this is why I didn't find them on the usual hotel bookings websites. If you stay there, do not eat their "dinner menu" (overpriced garbage), order from the "cafe menu."

Getting out to the hotel (which is on an island) requires crossing this bridge.
Depending on when you arrive, you can be walking with a cross wind blowing up to 50mph. Crossing when it is windy makes for fun times. Some of the hand railings are literally kept together with duct tape, others are just sitting there. Luckily the pieces of wood that you're walking on don't require you to grab onto them.
When crossing, I put everything into bags - nothing is in a pocket or a hand.

Superb vistas!
Also, good info for those interested to travel there.

Very nice photos of Pehoe. Here's a similar one from a nearby position on the hike to Mirador Cuernos.
