[Snapshot] Cañon del Sonche, Huayas, Perú


The wind passing over my ears drowns out any natural sounds that would be hovering over the canyon. The curled tops of the cotton-white clouds contrast with the bright blue sky.
If you peel off the green mask that's draped over the canyon walls, you see a smaller-scale version of the brown and red Grand Canyon. There are tears in the green blanket, though, where the white and red soil is exposed. 
The erosion slides look like giant eggs were cracked above the canyon, and the yolk is slowly making its way to the muddy river at the bottom. A set of waterfalls adorns a neighboring canyon in front of me. 
A majestic condor would not be out of place here, riding the air waves that blast up from the bottom of the canyon.

I'm happy just being here.

Listening.

Feeling.
