Traditional weaving is an extremely important craft for Peru. The locals have been using woven garments and household items for thousands of years by now. And there’s even more to it. The native language of Andean people is Quechua, and originally it was an oral language, so Andeans needed some instrument to save and pass the stories, local history, and their thoughts and ideas to the next generations of just other communities. The woven textiles became a mean of communication between people and recording the knowledge.*

I took dozens of photos of this amazing peruvian lily but this shot was special. The yellow part seemed to glow (shot in natural light). I didn't have to post process much to bring out the color and shapes other than crop the shot and add a matte border. Alstroemeria, commonly called the Peruvian Lily or Lily of the Incas, is a South American flowering plant that comes in many colors. Species of Alstroemeria from Chile are winter-growing plants while those of Brazil are summer-growing. Seen in Explore, May 19/08, photo No. 494.

The Peruvian Booby is the most abundant seabird along the coast of Peru, although it is not restricted to that country — being found as far north as southern Colombia and about two-thirds of the way down the coast of Chile. The Peruvian Booby is closely related to the Blue-footed Booby (Sula nebouxii), and the two species occur together mainly in southern Ecuador and northern Peru. I saw them both on a small island at Pucusana, a fishing town south of Lima (which is on the central Pacific coast of Peru). The individual in this image is a juvenile bird, with brownish head; see www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52458465492/in... for an image of an adult Peruvian Booby {in juxtaposition with a Peruvian Pelican}.

Machu Picchu stands 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments. The natural setting, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.

Fantastic cloud forest hummingbird found in the eastern Andes from southern Colombia to central Peru. Male has a straight tail ending in rackets and buffy leg puffs. On female, note the combination of short bill, white underparts scaled with green, white facial marks, and buffy thighs. Typically feeds at small flowers at forest edge or in clearings.

Alstroemeria commonly called the Peruvian lily or lily of the Incas, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Alstroemeriaceae. They are all native to South America although some have become naturalized in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Madeira and the Canary Islands. Plants of this genus grow from a cluster of tubers. They send up fertile and sterile stems, the fertile stems of some species reaching 1.5 meters in height. The leaves are alternately arranged and resupinate, twisted on the petioles so that the undersides face up. The leaves are variable in shape and the blades have smooth edges. The flowers are solitary or borne in umbels. The flower has six tepals each up to 5 centimeters long. They come in many shades of red, orange, purple, green, and white, flecked and striped and streaked with darker colors. 13111
