I’ve been in Tierra del Fuego these past two weeks, the “land of fire,” with the opportunity to capture time-lapse footage. Each day amidst moody and wind-whipped clouds, the sun moves slowly across the sky. If those clouds were not so constantly spitting water, this place is one where you could lie on your back and look up and about forever, like Ishmael strapped to the masthead. Instead, you savor the sun when it shows, wipe the lens that is measuring all this light, and dry out later near the fire in the company of friends. More on time-lapse in the next post. In the 1800’s nearby Cape Horn was the mid-point on the long arc of a sea voyage from America’s east coast to its west coast.
