Follow that boat!

This time it's the nature, not people, that is the main subject of the picture. 

Even though the vignetting draws an eye to the small motorboat in the centre, if you follow its path you'll reach hills of Taquile Island on the horizon. And you may be surprised that the bright white cloud on the horizon is indeed Cordillera Real, part of Bolivian Andes with peaks above 6,000 m.

And the girl who played

Unlike the photo of the wet-eyed girl from the previous post I did not have any reservations about this picture. In fact, I totally adore it. Check out more faces in my album called "People of Titicaca".

The girl who cried

I was not sure if I even like this picture. I guess nobody likes seeing kids suffering. But I think it was some kind of childhood sickness or temporary allergy and it is long gone now (hard to believe but there was a doctor in one of those huts).
Anyway, living on a floating island on a lake (even if it is one of the most famous lakes in the world), without electricity, is harsh. It was good to be back to civilization after 2 days' trip.
