Weekly Photo Challenge – Two Travelin' Chicas…

A Photo Series… In Honor of Earth Day

Surprise! Digging Deep Into the Curious… A Photo Journey

We all know… I think… that Alpaca Wool is from these guys. What you may not know is how the wool from these guys is colored so brilliantly and woven into symbols, animals, and the softest, warmest wool. They use everything from bugs and plants, to earthen dyes. Quite a surprise to see this actually happening in a mountain town in Peru.

Dig deeper into the foothills of Cotacachi, Ecuador… you can see how the bricks to build the homes in the towns are made… by hand!

Off the beaten path in the Great Basin area of Utah and Nevada… a strange little town pops up out of nowhere. First thought was LSD exists here… or perhaps a government witness protection town?? Strange is a good term…

Baker, California… on the way back to Utah… flash floods in the desert… BIG SURPRISE!

If you know where to look… you can find some images from indigenous North Americans another desert surprise…

A Sense of Security…
