On the road to Chinchero, Peru, I have my last, and closest view of Nevado Salcantay, which, at 6,271 m/ 20,574 ft., is the highest peak in the Cordillera Vilcabamba range of the Peruvian Andes. AIMG 1295

Chinchero, Peru is a village at an altitude of approximately 12,500 feet in which many of the locals still dress in traditional attire. The women, particularly unmarried ones, braid their hair and wear woven clothing and red felt hats. There are a number of weaving cooperatives in the village that allow the women to earn an income.

For the Sunday Challenge: Tools of the Trade. A bass trombone mute and mouthpiece. Although I am primarily an amateur, I occasionally get paid to play AIMG_4612.jpg

The Sunday Challenge: Pick 3 of something, whatever subject you want 3 buttons 3 glasses 3 banana's 3 people 3 snowmen etc. they can be matching or not... it doesn't matter, as long as the item is the same. Now the challenge bit is to have your picture focused on only 1 of your items and do some magic you have learned here, b&w, s/c, manual focus, that sort of thing. I used forced perspective, as the front figurine is only half the size of the back ones. TSCIMG 4631
