Here I leave you this marvel that every day I see when waking through the window of my room pico pico height 4,978 meters above sea level, it is part of the mountain range
Of the Andes
A set of peaks located in Merida Venezuela in the sierra nevada Along with the peaks brothers: Humboldt and Bonpland form the main peaks of the mountain range It receives its name in honor of the Venezuelan Liberator Simón Bolívar. On April 19, 1951, a bronze bust of the Liberator was unveiled at the summit of the peak, the work of the painter and sculptor Marcos León Mariño.
There is a legend related to the peak collected by Merino Tulio Febres Cordero. This story tells that the highest Venezuelan Andes receive their snow from five white eagles that perched on their peaks when pursued by an indigenous princess, and it is about El Toro, El León, La Garza, La Corona and La Columna. The princess was named Caribay, and she always liked to run under the eagles because she wanted to grab one to get a nice dress with her feathers. One day he did not see them and he asked the sun to show the eagles, but their pleas and laments were blown away by the wind. Then he asked the same thing to the moon and the eagles appeared flying around it, and so Caribay began to chase them until finally they got tired and separated in the mountain ranges.
The princess, touching one of the eagles, her hands became ice and the moon turned black. The eagle that she had touched waved her enormous wings covering her completely in ice, because she touched something sacred to perform a greed.
It is said that in the plains of Mérida there are nights when the cries of Princess Caribay are heard, and the next day the mountain ranges are covered with snow since the 5 white eagles in the previous night shook their huge wings, covering the imposing mountain ranges with snow.
This image shows us that the little things in life are the ones that count and mark you, the happiness I feel when seeing this is priceless so I wanted to share this beautiful photograph.
It seems as if it were a huge work of art in my window, in a certain sense if it is a work of art made by nature ...
