Everlasting Blort points to Edwina Beaumont's page of Peruvian people in their native dress.

She writes;

Photographs from a trip to Peru. All pictures were taken as slides and scanned. Most of the pictures come from the Colca Valley and from the highland markets. I don't take many portraits, but their costumes were so colourful and everyone was happy to pose for their pictures.

And I love 'em. :D



Oh, and just for today... Do Not Eat Them. :headshake

They need ironing.

Looks to me like the man has some white around his right nostril. :haha:

But they look like happy people, and the children don't look like sullen brats.

Somebody fed them after midnight.
