My fourth Peruvian trip: Chivay part two

*




 Chivay, mountain with blue sky, oil on card, 24.2 x 21 cm - unavailable






 Chivay, River Colca, hillside, oil on card, 25 x 19 cm unavailable






Chivay, mountainside, oil on card, 21.6 x 24.5 cm unavailable





The mountains round Chivay are often extremely rocky with just grasses or cacti (some of these rather magnificent) for vegetation. The effect can be rather severe.

 It didn't rain at all for the first week, then there was a phase when the clouds build up to storm in the mid-afternoon.

Every now and then in the paths around Chivay you run into a shepherd with a few sheep. Sometimes the shepherds are young children, sometimes old people. They are quite personable, but often shy- mountain people perhaps. There are few cars and it is an extremely agreeable place to work.
