Me and Martin booked our trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu and will be there at the 22-25 of may, which it this week Thursday.
I added a countdown widget to the left just for fun.
For the time being. Enjoy some black and white photos I took Saturday in the district Rimac in Lima.

Taken with my Canon 5D, 24-105 mm Canon lens and edited in Lightroom.
Den vita blev min favorit. Eller den utan huvud!
utan huvud?
Kolla bilderna. 😉
Har jag klippt av någons huvud. Näe. haha
Har du hittat den! 🙂
nope. menar du Martins halva huvud? 🙂
Okej. Då ska jag vara lite tydligare. Jag minns inte längre meningen, men jag syftade på den vita duvan som råkade dra in huvudet så det är bara vingarna som syns. Alltså huvudlös duva. !
haha 🙂 okej. 🙂 ja, för Martins huvud redigerade jag ju. Såg faktiskt inte den duvan, men när du säger det så..
Some really terrific shots there, Katarina ! The one of the suburb climbing the hill is stunning … and all the birds in motion shots, too ! You must be pleased.
Yes. Rimac is very beaten down area, but it used to be the main area during the colonising of the Spanish. The rich Spanish people lived there. It is not the suburb though, central lima is climbing the hills. it is hills everywhere in Lima.. 🙂
How are you doing Margaret, by the way?
With the breakdown of my Gaggia Classic, Katarina, I am in a bad way … an addict deprived of any decent version of her – um – addiction ! 🙂
Can’t tell you how much I’m missing my frequent trips to the kitchen for another cup of java …
OH. I LOVE coffee so understand you to the fullest..
No more trips to bookstores or libraries?
I did another library last week, where I had the biggest audience comprised of the rudest women and it was the least enjoyable talk I’ve given. This was, I decided, because it was also the wealthiest suburb. 🙁
haha. Well. they must have liked you since they wen´t there? sometimes we have a hard time showing these things.
Excellent Photos! You will love Machu Picchu! I am an archaeologist and art conservator traveling the world while working. I’ll be sure to follow your progress.
Aha. Interesting line of work. Where to one archeological site, the huacca pullana (might have spelled this wrong now) the other week. Very interesting. And was also at Mali, museum of Arts in Lima where they had a exhibition on pre inca finds. It was all in spanish, so not much knowledge, but it is interesting that there is made so much discoveries. Have you worked any in Peru or South America then?
Ah, I’ve heard a few good things about those collections. No! Not yet, although I have studied the Inca extensively. My twin brother (who is also an archaeologist) did a lot of fieldwork in the Atacama in Chile before trekking through Peru.
Aha, interesting! 🙂 Wen´t to the gold museum which had a lot of inca gold but didn´t take any pictures, since it wasn´t allowed, so haven´t written anything about it, but here is the huacca pcllana temple.. http://katarinawohlfart.com/2014/04/16/10-things-to-do-in-lima-post-1/
How exciting! Will definitely keep an eye out for your post about Machu Pichu!
🙂 Well, there will probably be more than one. Might add a photo or two in the hotel, depending on the wifi, but back in Sweden I will write until my fingers bleed about it. That is a promise!
