April 2013, Perú. At the highest point (4,950 meters above sea level) on the mountain road
between Arequipa and the Cañón del Colca, home of the condors. (Sadly, none of the thousand
condor photos came out well enough to make this Top 20.)
Tomorrow: #11 is one of the few photos from my brother-in-law's wedding I took that
came out well. It made the list because it captured a side of him I didn't know, and probably
won't see again.
Really great photo with the clarity of colour in the handicrafts and the grand mountains in the background
ReplyDeleteThanks, Duncan! I'm glad you liked it :)
DeleteWow! This is really beautiful. I was really attracted to the blue skies, the mountain, the barren soil and the colourful array of the handicrafts. Love this.
ReplyDeleteLili, that barren soil really makes the photo special, doesn't it? The perfect contrast for the crafts and their color. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteVilken vacker bild på en karg natur.Finns det inget som växer där? Kaktusar?
ReplyDeleteTänk så mycket fint hantverk.
Snyggt med en stående bild.Fantastiska berg.
Kramizzzz
Wow, a crash course in Swedish! Thank you, Google Translate :D Indeed, Lotta, nothing grows there. It's too high up there in the Andes, and too cold. And yes, the crafts are my favorite part of visiting any country--impossible to choose, haha. Thanks for the visit!
DeleteThis is a beautiful picture which shows the culture of the place as well as portraying it geographically. Simply stunning..
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for coming by :)
