A bird. I'm not that excited about birds specifically, but I like animal photography and they just tend to be what you see the most of.
A snow-covered mountain in the distance in the valley between green hills.
Salkantay. I like the framing with the valley.
A snow-covered mountain in the distance behind a green field.
I think Salktantay again from the other side, but maybe it's some other mountain.
A colorful rooster with spiky feathers on its head.
A cool feathery red rooster.
A bear leaning forward over a watermelon that it's holding in its paws.
A spectacled bear eating watermelon/staring pensively. I think this was some sort of nature preserve. There's a fence in the extreme foreground, but I mostly managed to hide it in this shot.
A high view of a grassy, tiered, ancient city made of stone.
Machu Picchu from the spot where everyone photographs it.
