Reminds me of summer
This picture reminds me of summer even though I photographed it at the tail end of Peru’s winter, in Cusco. I think it’s the yellow. And the warm tones of the plantholder. And the shadows. i can’t wait for warmer weather.
Finding Jesus in Cusco, Peru
It’s not all that difficult to find Jesus in Cusco, Peru. He’s omnipresent, glowing white from atop a mountain on the outskirts of the city.
A procession of the Virgin Mary through Cusco, Peru
There she is: a purple-enthroned picture of the Virgin Mary, parading through the streets of Cusco. A Peruvian friend said these Virgin Mary processions take place all the time. Marissa said she sees parades almost every week. I imagine how much a parade a week would enliven my life and hope I wouldn’t take it for granted.
Cusco, Peru
The Plaza de Armas in Cusco, Peru, attracts both tourists and birds to its colonial architecture, such as La Compañia de Jesus (Jesuit Church) and the fountain in the middle of the square. I love this picture because there’s so much going on: church spires glowing in the setting sun, bird flying, tourist in tough vest looking at the sites, fountain spouting water, person walking past the fountain… More to come!
