The water looks dirty, but isn’t.  You can see the gold­fish clearly enough after all.

The Santa Catalina Con­vent in Are­quipa is an aston­ish­ing city within a city.  In spite of the noise and bustle of the city out­side, it man­ages to main­tain a quiet calm.  The nuns who lived here (and a small num­ber who still do) may have led an ascetic and simple life, but they also had a very beau­ti­ful place to live as well.  Fant­astic light, col­ours and views.

The col­ours here just knocked me out.  They say that mid-day isn’t a good time to take pho­tos, espe­cially in the trop­ics, but you can’t really go wrong when the sub­ject mat­ter is so good.
