Beneath the Grey: Lima

Scenes from the sierra at Lima´s Cruz del Sur terminal.

....really?

Patricia (front and center) and her lovely family.

Changing Cages

Back in Tumbes, the illegal wild animal trade.

Tree dedicated to Rosalía.

Starting the 20-hour journey to Lima.

Long trip ahead...

Morning 84

Desert...

...meets the shore.

Chacra, Pueblo, Mar

Chacra (no, not chakra!) is Quechua for farmland. The Peruvian coast is buttressed by desert, followed a few hours later by sierra, mountain land.

¿Cuántas casitas hay en Casitas?

Se vende gasolina.

House made from wood of the endangered algarrobo tree, which is also used to make syrups and, consequently, the popular Algarrobina cocktail (which, sadly, is delicious).

Goal!

Guess who´s back?

Whoever designed this logo is a genius, have I mentioned that before? Coca Cola continues to dominate the Latin American landscape.

Sand.

Love the way they wrap the banana bunch.

Back to tacky Tumbes.

I believe this is by Víctor Delfín (you´ll see another of his scultpures soon in Lima).

DIY gas.

Nothing like these coastal sunsets.

Criaturas Iluminadas

Sunsets on the Pacific.

Low-tide means lots of interesting sea-life.
