Here is a photo that is typical of the problem I have experienced in the
altitudes of Bolivia. The town in the valley is Pocoata, the place where we
were helping to put a roof on their church building in April 2001. The town
is at about 10 or 11,000 feet, and we took time to climb this hill one
afternoon, which would be a little higher. You can see from the small
shadows that the sun is about overhead. The scene seemed bright and clear,
at least that is how I remember it. But the colors in the slide looks, well,
muddy, dull, etc., even in the foreground. This was taken with a zoom and UV
filter, Kodachrome 64, a combo that gives me great colors here in NB,
Canada.

Here is another one of a closer subject, the walls of the building before
the roof was on. Again, it was taken in the middle of the day, with the same
muddy look to the colors.

When you bring back a lot like this, it is frustrating.
