This is the beautiful cathedral in Trujillo, it is at the main square (”Plaze de Armas”), which is located on the right side of (or more outside) the photo. Yeah, I know this is a typical tourist shot, but the colors are so lovely ;)

Somewhere off the Road in Peru

This is one of my favorite photos I took in Perú. The right “click” at the right moment. If you shoot more you increase your chances, like with so many other things in life. Listen for feedback though, since doing something ineffective doesn’t create more value even after a myriads of repetition…

Cusco (Peru) Church at the Main Square (Plaze de Armas)

One of the beautiful churches in Cusco, right at the Plaza de Armas (=main square; literally it means “place of weapons”). Cusco is the city from where all people head to Machu Picchu. Thus, it is very touristic. Be careful, in the first day in Cusco I was approached by more drug dealers during the day than during the whole three months in total! Despite that fact the town is pretty safe.
