A Dreamland

Cactus Flower, Peru
Cordillera Blanca Donkey
Path to Laguna Shallap
Cordillera Blance Horses
Laguna Shallap
Behind Laguna Shallap

I am hungry for new scenery, for vastness. Huaraz and its surroundings provide. The Cordillera Blanca towering above, around. The green and rocky path. I sink in. I look around as if it’s a dreamland. Earth is full of dreamlands. Everyone can find a dreamland, different, widely different, from whence they come. My eyes just drink.

    I have a dreamland in my heart that am working into reality. Where will you go next?

    1. Leah (Went Looking) Avatar

      I hope it is your reality in not too long. :) In a few weeks I’m off on a road trip across the northern mid and western U.S. I’ll hit the Badlands, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and more!

    I really love the photo with the icy mountain in the center of the shot. My eyes are drawn toward, because of its position in the frame but also because the leading lines formed by the mountain sides. Wonderful framing, great job! :-)

    Stunning photos! I especially love the flower one. It reminds me of the one I took in North America this summer at Zion National Park: http://being-abroad.com/2015/07/15/hiking-zion-national-park/.

      Thank you! And haha, I can see the resemblance. Flowering cacti are so cute!

    I can not believe that there are many places with the things like in my country (Vietnam – you can see them here: http://dulich.wikihoidap.com/2014/06/cung-duong-ha-giang.html if you like)

      Interesting! Funny, even though they’re so far from each other!

    I too went to Peru last year and I must say it was a lively place as your photos suggests.

    1. Leah (Went Looking) Avatar

      Peru is indeed a lively place! I loved it.
