Spectacular views high above the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The snowcovered peak is Suyay Q'asa 14,850 Ft. Peru, South America
It is found in the high Andes at altitudes of 3,500 - 5,500 meters. That they can live at more than 5,000 m is probably due to their super fine wool coat, which they wear like an insulating layer.
Vicunas have the finest animal hair ever! Their fibers are even finer than silk, making their wool the most expensive processing material in the clothing industry

We were quite surprised to know that close to Lima, the capital city of Peru was a desert town of Ica. This desert has a small oasis call Huacachina. Though full of tourists, foreign and local, we spent a couple of fun days here. Climbing up the sand dunes and sand boarding down.
I am spending the next few days in the Cusco, Machu Picchu area of Peru. It was a very long day flying yesterday and adapting to 16 hrs difference from Australia. Today, we flew to Cusco, climbed from 3,400m to 3,800m to the village of Chincheros for Incan handicrafts before descending to the city of Urumbamba for overnight. The high altitudes are affecting me a bit, but it is tolerable so long as one goes gently and drinks lots of water.
Day 18 of 31. Though it felt like Day 17 was extra long due to time zone changes.
Beginnings. A few days ago I received an unexpected gift. A Russian Helios 44-M lens, dating from 1979. You probably know I am a great fan of the 44-2, so I am delighted to be able to add the new lens to my love affair with Russian Helios lenses ;o)
This is my very first shot with the 44-M lens, mounted on the Sony NEX-7 camera. Some small Peruvian lily flowers resting on a glass base, and slightly overhanging it too! Well, I was impatient to see what the lens could do!
With many, many thanks to jesse1dog with his inspired exploration of all manner of lenses and what they can offer the adventurous and curious photographer!!
HBW! ;o)

The Peruvian pelican (Pelecanus thagus) is a member of the pelican family. It lives on the west coast of South America, breeding in loose colonies from about 33.5° in central Chile to Piura in northern Peru, and occurring as a visitor in southern Chile and Ecuador.[2]

I usually prefer tight crops for birds. Trying something different with this warbler from the montane forests of the Andes. Abra Patricia, San Martin, Peru. Aug 2015.
