Salut Daniel
Impressive view and strong demonstration of power "just in
case"... The composition is well seen with a good DOF in the
street. Cheers
Quentin

Hola Daniel, the elections in Italy have somehow eclipsed the Peruvian ones in the news, so thanks for this post. It's a sad story about populism gaining ground, and a sad shot of military vehicles in a pedestrian street, somehow reminds me of images of the 1970s. Thanks and regards, Daniel

Nice strong shot, I would imagine the gunner up the top might get pretty bored during his shift when nothing is happening 99% of the time.

I was pretty shocked to see police tanks on the street in Istanbul when I went, bit of a change from where I live, but there was something about the military and strong police presence which I was attracted to.

Exactly, Daniel - concerning your note - the same as in this country - I principally do not vote, because I do not see anybody decent to vote for!
I am grateful to your notes, they are very useful for me, because since I have my dear friends in that country, I cannot be indifferent. I keep checking! The next vote is scheduled for May 7th. 400,000 people voted abroad, did you vote too, I wonder? - Who knows, history knows facts when one vote made the difference.

Great journalistic photo, by the way. (The quality could have been a little bit better though (lighter and sharper), but it does not matter much in this case...) I have seen lots of policemen near this palace and on all sides of the park in the center of the square. A friend of mine was also impressed by the number of armed policemen in the city... I am glad we DID NOT see the tank!

I really liked your note "just in case anyone gets any ideas..."... This is very sad!

Very strong daily life picture with contrasting elements in it. Colors perspective and details are great.

Hi Daniel, good shots that well rapresent what a normal democracy should normally not to be!
thanks, in the streets!
in Italy we are very close to that image...
good perspective and colours/focus.

after 3 days from the vote we don't know still who will be the next prime minister.
the difference at the Senate who made by the vote of the Italian Expats (people that live or were born oversea and that don't pay taxes in Italy - we are the only Nation in the world were that "citizen" can vote!); at the Camera there was a difference of 25.000 votes over more than 40 Millions!
but Berlusconi don't wont go away....

ciao

Salut Daniel

ciao

Pucha, Daniel, que m1erda los resultos. Humala es tan peligroso, tan nacionalista... va molestar el equilibrio en Sudamerica, talvez, tambien, la paz entre Peru y Ecuador o Chile. Bueno, la foto muestra bien la situacion tensa, la amenaza militar que representa el Humala.
Chao,
Narayan

Hallo Daniel,
Good photo from daily life in Lima. Unfortunately what is shown is not the happiest thing. I like a lot of your POV, filled with nice little items from the daily life of this capital.
well done.
Paulo

Hi Daniel,
I really like this... the pick and shovel on the back of the tank seem pretty odd to me.
Well caught daily-life scene with a twist. Well done :)

Salut Daniel,

Je n'avais pas encore vu ta photo.
Mais voilà que je la découvre avec son commentaire. Je suis actuellement à Lima depuis 15j... je peux te dire qu'on ne parle que d'élections présidentielles... et comme toi, je suis heureux de ne pas devoir choisir ;-)
Toujours impressionnant pour nous européens de voir un tank dans la rue !

Hi Daniel
Evidemment, je choisi tes photos Péruviennes.Elles me permettent de voir ,de découvrir d'autres facettes de ton pays, une réalité que le touriste ne remarque pas toujours, et pourtant.
la présence de l'armée et de la police partout, la présence de barrières autour des maisons, surtout dans les grandes villes, m'ont éveillé à un contexte auquel je ne suis pas habitué, vivant dans un pays où l'ordre semble régner.Oh, je suis conscient de sa fragilité, il en faut de peu pour que tout bascule...
Ici l'armée pour protéger le pouvoir, et le maintenir coute que coute.
Une belle photo d'actualité, malheureusement.
Bonne semaine
Charles
