Last week was a mixed bag. I think I took the best pictures just randomly, without thinking too much. Just something that I said "Oh, I could take a picture of that" and then did.

I come by these flowers every time I go to the courthouse. Which was a lot recently, as the people there weren't able to catch up with work after Inti Raymi, World Cup, and whatever else is more important to them. In the end, they did get it done the 6th time I went.

Anyway, I like the contrast of the orange flower and the black asphalt in the background.

I went to the letters, too, and got this ironic picture. In the front, you see the "C" of the letters that form "Cotacachi" high above the canyon. But through the opening you don't see the mountain/volcano Cotacachi, but Imbabura - the mountain that gave the province its name.

Since I was there already, I took another picture from the platform. It's such a beautiful view. I think I have like 10 pictures of that now, and they're all kind of the same, and I will probably take even more.

Mom and child. Mom is watchful, while the little one is doing its thing near the wall. And yes, this, too, is on the way to the courthouse.

The multiple color flowers. Fresh ones, dry ones, all mixed up. Even something that looks like a dandelion fluff found its way in there.

But not everything was courthouse related. This one came out great, as in composition of the picture with the palm and the Arupo flowers touching almost in the middle. Could be more perfect, but is already great.

Of course I can't let the cookies miss. I did a few pictures, and the coconut came out the best. It's been fun to teach Kami everything around it, though a little frustrating as well. There is no great interest in self-improvement, in trying to get the best result, but more an apathy which is normal for a 15 year old I guess.

And to round it all up - a dog under Santa Ana, right in front of the main church of Cotacachi. I have other pictures focused more on the dog, ignoring the background, but I like the palms and the church tower to be complete.

That's it for last week! As always, any feedback and especially tips and tricks are very welcome! As long as it's not AI generated content or comment spamming... 😅

Thank you for stopping by!
