EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Eric Lawrie from EyeUbiquitous, we are transported to the breathtaking landscapes of Peru's Cordillera Vilcanota. The image showcases a shepherd family and their loyal alpaca herd embarking on a long descent along a winding mountain road towards the bustling market in Pitumarca. The sheer magnitude of the mountains surrounding them serves as a reminder of both the beauty and challenges that come with living in such remote regions. As they navigate through rugged terrain, the family's resilience is palpable, reflecting their deep connection with nature and their ancestral traditions. The alpacas, adorned with vibrant textiles draped over their backs, symbolize not only an important source of livelihood for these shepherds but also embody centuries-old cultural heritage. Their presence adds an element of grace and harmony to this awe-inspiring scene. Lawrie's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail - from the vivid colors contrasting against earthy tones to the play between light and shadow that accentuates each contour. This photograph invites viewers into a world where time seems suspended; it evokes curiosity about the stories held within these ancient mountains and offers us a glimpse into everyday life in rural Peru. As we admire this remarkable image, let us be reminded of our shared humanity across borders – one that celebrates diversity while recognizing our interconnectedness with people like this shepherd family who find solace amidst nature's grandeur.
