Korita, Sand Dunes Park, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
This photo is a winner in the Highly Competitive - Flickr's 100 Best pool.
I first saw Korita in the airport in Miami. Her face captivated me so much that I did something I never do: prayed to a God I don't believe exists.
"Dear God: please let me sit next to this beautiful woman."
I sat down in 7E. She sat down in 7F. I couldn't believe my good fortune.
I learned that Korita is a German-Colombian dentist from Berlin. By the time we reached Quito we were friends. We travelled Ecuador together, and shared terrific adventures.
This photograph of Korita in the Tandayapa Valley broke my heart. To have a woman look at you this way (heart stops, camera turns to lead, head spins)... and then profess a burning desire to remain friends, contrary to all the evidence at hand.
Very funny, God.
Korita came to visit me in Ottawa a year later to torment me further. We travelled down to beautiful Prince Edward County on the shore of Lake Ontario and ended up in Sand Dunes Provincial Park at sunset. It was windy and cold in the dying light; Korita casually threw her scarf over her face. The veiled photograph above is the happy result.
