[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At this hight you feel like 200 years old, because there is very little oxygene and you have too few red blood cells to manage that. But after a couple of days, when we went down to Cusco, at 3.000 meters, we felt very strong!

I have a friend from Peru who was born and grew up at these altitudes, her lungs are actually physically larger than normal... she can hold her breath far longer than anyone else.

As for your photo... a snapshot rather than a piece of art, but one that does exactly what it intended (-: Thanks for sharing

don't tell me you have been to Peru ! when was that, I live there, would have been nice to make a contact.

Christine.
