I thought in those zen gardens with monks shaping waves in the sand… in this case this garden just last what a wave could last in the shores…
Pozo de Lizas beach
Fight the grey!
This picture was shot in summer in Ilo city, now is winter but the weather is hot… I guess you in the Northern Hemisphere are starting to feel the weather lightly cold, instead I can almost tolerate the hot weather and I’m sure there are more people swimming in the sea…
Turquoise day
Cinnamon your skin at sunset, honey your eyes drawn in secret. I’m afraid to coloring my shameful desire.
Turquoise you are so far away.
Stubbornness
Ilo B – Pozo de Lizas beach
happy ending
Ilo city is in the south coast of the Peruvian deserts. Usually covered with the Kamanchaca (sea fog) in summer it’s an amazing place to go to the beaches. In the south of Peru Ilo beaches are in my opinion the most beautiful and always are hidden ones to discover. They are not the glamorous tropical beaches in the north of Peru, with palms and its armies of surfers, but are quite beautiful in its own right.
I went for a work, so I had just one afternoon to enjoy the beach, with a broken camera… The humidity damaged the mechanism and I just could to shoot it in manual; I liked so much that since then I’ve never used full automatic modes.
The yellow building is a bar with restaurants, bathrooms, and services. I think they have good taste because don’t impact negatively the beach and even from the sea they looks discret in the topography.
sea and desert
So I took off my clothes and went to the beach. As I was just alone I let my camera, after having taken a few vistas, and backpack with a kind lady working in the building. I was in the water for hours…
crystalline
perfect sky for a perfect day
my shadow in blue clue
waves coming
jump!
I’ll endure in my quietness
impact
The sunset came so I went for my stuff, but not without take another vistas of the sea dying in fire tones…
mar in crescendo
walking in the black side of life
silver and gold
lo! symbols in the water
And that was all, the next day my back was red and sensible, lol, I mean, auch!
just a bit more, please
Usually I don’t care about seasons, but this time I’d liked to have a bit more of time to enjoy the summer. If you speak English and don’t live in Australia then it’s quite probable that you were in winter meanwhile here the summer was in its whole intensity.
