more (mostly) b/w:
cusco


above/below: part of the view from the mudbrick house.

the smallest tree in the distance (about centered, just below the clouds) gave me a burst of energy everytime i saw it.  the colors were just so fun...a roofline speckled w/ vividly painted walls.  almost seems like it could be animate...at least, in my head!


-----------------

above/below: two different views of the plaza de armas.  (like i said in a previous blog...protest happy people).  but, they're calm experiences, a lot of marching.  these particular people weren't too happy w/ the current president.

a postcards rest on the bench (in the main plaza locals are restricted from selling their goods); identical benches line the walkways leading to central element; these metal-railed-green-wood-backed benches, large patches of grass, and well manicured flower beds surround a forest green fountain, white swans spewing water; tourists wandering about; possibly oblivious to the two flags waving every direction -- the cusco flag (rainbow horiz. stripes) and the peruvian flag; w/ one of the main cathedrals posing as the backdrop in the image below.

it's a beautiful view, regardless of what goes on daily...

above: after school, janet takes turns w/ her three sisters, selling the jewelry & art her parents/uncle have made...making sure to greet every familiar face that passes by.
