  Yes just about after sunset. This daytime hike was so long that returning back to the lodge was in the dark :)
  PS: you can see the time it was taken just above the country indicator, that is, on photos with EXIF info included. Of course time taken doesn't always indicate day or night but in Colombia sunset is pretty much around 6pm across the year. Posted 6 years ago

Quite the symmetry! The reflection shows it is just touching at the tips of the legs. Interesting for sure. Posted 6 years ago
