Last time we looked at how having a quest or a theme for a trip or for a set of photos can add a great deal to the experience. Sometimes you start with the theme in mind. Other times, it just comes to you on the trip.
For example, on our trip to Peru last year, we hadn’t been out of the airport there for more than five minutes when we noticed the vast numbers of dogs running all around. My wife and son made a game to count all the dogs on our drive to the hotel, but they gave up after 300 – and that was within about 10 minutes.
So, here’s a small photo essay (click the photo to expand) on just a few of the dogs we encountered in Peru and an illustration of how what you discover along the way can become a theme all on its own.
Even if it means your trip ends up going to the dogs…
-
- A new friend that joined us at an outdoor cafe in Ollantaytambo, Peru.
-
- The two boys had far more energy than the dog. Ollantaytambo, Peru.
-
- One of the famed hairless dogs of Peru. Aguas Callientes, Peru
-
- This shaggy pooch reminds me that hanging out can be one of the best parts of a trip. Ollantaytambo, Peru
-
- Why this dog had circles drawn around its eyes or the yellow necklace is a mystery to us. Cuzco, Peru.
-
- Wherever you find people – and often where you don’t – you will find a dog. Maras, Peru.
-
- I wish I could sleep anywhere…Ollantaytanbo, Peru.
