It's a great photo with a lot of interest aided by the useful note. It reminds me a lot of Tibet with the tiny dwellings dwarfed by the huge hill behind them. Nice colours and detail.

Bonjour
Ca me rappelle quelque chose...
J'ai aussi eu ma petite expérience dans ce domaine le 14 juillet 2004 : ce jour-là nous avions un vol entre Arequipa et Puno (par Juliaca), avec quelques aventures sur les trajets entre les villes et leurs aéroports...

Hi Daniel, splendide - j'aime beaucoup cette vue remarquablement composée -
Tu vois, j'étais indécis mais au vu de la qualité de ta campagne, je vais voter pour toi aux prochaines élections.
Merci
Amicalement

Salut Daniel,
j'aime bien tes images qui montrent un Pérou différent de ce que que l'on voit habituellement.
Tout le monde participe à la grève, les enfants poussent la brouette. Une grève en famille ! ;-)
Cette image est bien composée avec la route, les grèvistes et la ville en arrière plan.
Pas beaucoup de verdure dans le coin...

oh la , quelle glère ces pierres sur la route, j'espère qu'ils auront balayé tout ça avant qu'on arrive au Pérou !!!
merci pour cette photo informative, ça a du bon de marcher des fois ;). J'aime bien les couleursvives des vêtements qui ressortent dans ce paysage un peu désertique.

I just came back from Peru where I took a bus between Puno and Arequipa.

As a matter a fact, the road was destroyed! In some places, the road was so baddly damaged that the bus went outside the road to continue.

Now I have an explanation for such bad roads!

the village (town/city I guess from its size) in the back looks so much like any other village in the tibetan plateau ... tfs

Un peu populiste le propos mais il est intéressant d'avoir un point de vue partisan sur ce beau pays.

En parlant de point de vue, il aurait été intéressant de t'approcher plus près de la scène car sans commentaire, on aurait pu prendre cela pour un accident ou même à une route simplement endommagée. Toutefois, je dois concéder que dans le cadre d'une série, cette photo garde son attrait.

A very interesting 'life' shot (I won't describe this as 'daily life' because it doesn't happen everyday) and note, Daniel. You've framed this well with the people pushing their wheelbarrows and tricycles in the foreground (which sort of emphasises the hardship that people suffer in these situations) and the town and line of buses in the background. Good photojournalism. Cheers . . . David

Hola Daniel, ¿como estas? He estado en Huanuco desde la 4 de deciembre.

I just want to start of by saying I have been reading your thoughts and views on Peruvian society today and I respect them a great deal. I am learning a good deal from your notes but at times I think you can be quite bias. I understand that it is to be expected because all of our persepectives in life are bias towards something, no? You write these notes and they have much meaning, but I just wish it was that easy to create such drastic change in a society as a whole.

You had the ability and the luck of being able to immigrate to Canada, this puts you in a position to see the problems with Peruvian society from a totally and unattached view (personally unattached, as in you don´t have to live there everyday). We judge other people critically because we want change, I want change as well, but I cannot judge a person until I have walked in his or her shoes.

You have frustrations with the government and you don´t even live there, so imagine how these ¨neanderthals¨ feel living with inequality on a daily basis. You had the privelidge of leaving a country, travelling and not having to return, so with all do respect have you walked in the shoes of your country men? And do you believe if your family never left Peru would you not be living like the ¨gente bien¨?

The general feeling that Fujimori should come back, is quite general. In what regions and departments are these people this? Ask the people whose families we murdered by the killing squads of Fujimori if he should return. Does Economic growth and reform justify this? No matter how terrible the atrocities of Sender Luminoso were.

Again I respect you a great deal.
