Photo of an Peruvian Aymara lady. The Aymara Indians are one of the largest native ethnic groups in Peru. They are also one of the most photogenic, for they usually love having their pictures taken and the bright clothing they normally wear is very eye-appealing. Enjoy!

What a beautiful face she has! She has some stories to tell I can see. The colours of her clothes is so vivid. A wonderful capture, full of character.

I love the way she is posing and her very clever look ! You are right : those clothes must be a pleasure to look at and shot !!

"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange

I like her hat and those colorful clothes. She appears to be a friendly amused woman. I'm sure she has worked hard during her life. Very good human interest view :)

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images :)
