01 Mar 2005 Cordillera Urubamba

I'm finished with the Scotland photos for now. I have a few more that I'll share one day, as well as photos from other adventures done prior to the existence of this photoblog. But tomorrow, it's back to "current" shots. I know at least one person out there will be very excited to hear that I got my first two rolls of Holga shots back today and will be posting a few this week... :)

Today's shot was taken in the Andes mountains of Peru, near Machu Picchu. The entire area is called the Cordillera Oriental (Oriental mountain range), but there are sub-cordilleras. I wasn't certain which this photo shows, but after a bit of research I am 99% sure that this is the Cordillera Urubamba, as visible from our final campsite at Winaywayna. While on the trail we also saw a lot of the higher Cordillera Vilcabamba (and its most impressive peak, Salcantay).

In black and white, I feel the shot is great for this past week's Photo Friday topic, Ghostly.
