The shy house 😆

Roofs are made of stardust.

I took many blurry photos during my travel through Peru. I think they are somehow magical. This seemingly unreal grassland somewhere in the Peruvian Andes hides an equally magical secret. Do you see the cave? Take a close look! Do you see this bear-like creature secretly leaping out of the darkness? Ground sloth! The legendary Mapinguari! These mighty creatures, who dug impressive caves, are considered extinct. To this day, they are part of legends of the indigenous people. Their skin was riddled with bone plates and with their huge claws they were serious opponents. To be honest, I just added a small white dot to make it look like an animal. Don't believe everything! But thanks for the attention! 😜

I took many blurry photos during my 18 hour bus ride from Ica to Cusco. Here we drove through the Limatambo District in the Cusco Region at an altitude of around 2,600 meters. The people in the district are mainly indigenous citizens of Quechua descent.

The landing in Lima, capital of Peru.

It's been almost a year. Actually, I wanted to return to Peru this year, because I really enjoyed it and there's still so much to discover. Won't work! But next year for sure (together with Ecuador)! Don't think that I'm done with the travel pictures. The ground sloth stream is like a timeless dream.

West of the village of Maras are these unusual Inca ruins. Their depth, design and orientation creates a temperature difference of as much as 15°C (27°F) between the top and the bottom. The purpose is uncertain, but it may have been used for agricultural experiments. It has been discovered that the soil of the terraces comes from different places. The Inca have produced countless varieties of potatoes, quinoa and corn. Until 50 years ago, potatoes and barley were grown here.

The loveliest place I found in Peru is Santa Teresa. It's a few kilometers away from Machu Picchu. There I relaxed so much! Here on a rock at the Urubamba River, near the hot wells.

Norderkeerk in Amsterdam.
A nice building by famous Dutch architect Hendrick de Keyser (17th century). I like the street lamp. Next time I'll pay more attention to the lamps of Amsterdam. There are countless different designs everywhere.

Philoslothy: Light the shape of your heart. There's no reflection in darkness. I'm aware of what moves me. It's the moths in my fur (a sloth-o-nyme). If you also want moths: turn on the light!
