Flying over Merida, in the Andes, before landing

We flew from Caracas to Merida, the university town in the Andes. The big peaks (up to Pico Bolivar, at around 16,500 feet) were shrouded in clouds as we flew in, but the next morning the sky was clear. Merida sits on a giant mesa between two rivers (you can see one in the picture, the green strip on the lower right).
