We had discovered these alpacas at our exit of the tent, which itself was very frosted, it was our coldest night, undoubtedly because of the proximity of the lake Sibinacocha, -17°c. One include/understand better day after day, the veneration of the sun, us also, we awaited only him;)

And then you can notice on the right this small structure, this one is used to store droppings of alpacas (this for the heating primarily).

I leave to set up the exposure on Kampuchea (see my presentation for more precise details).
Then good WE

My anothers shot of Peru

--------------------

From Tinqui, we discovered Puna: characteristic vegetation of the Andes in more of 4000m. They are big fields of grasses of several sorts called Ichu. There are also many wet zones in bottom of valleys with meanders of rivers and swamps or the small cushions of Tsampa, Joncacées in aspect of froths but stiff, allow to move about on foot dry. These swamps or pantanos accommodate numerous birds: ducks, ibises and couples of gooses andines. The highly-rated of valleys, grazed by the herds carry a short lawn speckled with some acaules flowers (composites, gentians). In the zones of mass of fallen rocks live colonies(summer camps) of rodents: viscaches. A woolly sort of cactus and in yellow flowers occupies some spread stations. Any vegetation disappears towards 4800m.

Salut Philippe.
Ca a l'ait de cailler dur effectivement. Ces bètes là ont un sacré manteau sur eux et sont habitués à ce climet d'altitude. C'était pas necessaire de mette du 400 ISO à cet endroit. Cette pellicule est la cause de la perte de définition je pense.

Bonjour Philippe,
Emmenez-moi au bout de la terre
Emmenez-moi au pays des merveilles
Il me semble que la misère
Serait moins pénible au soleil !
Le soleil semble être vénéré à juste titre en regardant ta note et ce superbe paysage qui semble sortir d'un autre monde.
Merci de nous apprendre davantage sur la vie des pays du bout du monde.
Bon WE à toi aussi.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Salut Philippe,
C'est toujours aussi impressionnant de voir ce décor minéral. Très bonne lumière rasante. Très belle prise.
Bon week-end,
Fabrice

Hello,

Du givre sur les hauts plateaux ! Impressionant. On devine que les pauvres bêtes se rechauffent aux premiers rayons du soleil !
Belle image.
