Central Market is very old, but many people visit it everyday, however a few of them have seen how is upstairs of this market.

...looking up

While I was waiting for the concert of Symphonic Orchestra of Trujillo I looked up and I like this view...

Music of the life

I'm volunteer in Arpegio Association, we work with children and teenagers in musical education, these kids don't have enogh money to have a good quality life, some of them work to support to their families, but everybody have found in the music an option to develop their own lifes.

Plastic?

Yesterday, Isaw this red flower, it was so beautiful and it looked like red plastic :S, but the flower was real, I'd like to know its name!.

Taking a nap

Visiting some people, this cat told me with his eyes "Let me sleep!!!"... zZzZzZzZ!

Who is it?

A misterious and scary man is watching me... but be quiet, he is just a mud sculpture outside the window.

shadows of life

Hard work to get these nice wood vicunas... pacient art!!! great job!!!

Little artisan

I visited an artisan workshop, the little boy was just playing but time from time he worked like the older people.

More pineaple dad?

Pineaple time and Poroto's people is ready to sell their best products. Poroto is a district of Trujillo, it's on the country side. This little girl looks like she is asking for more time to play with the pineaples.

like a gift

I like a lot the style of the windows, one is different to the another one...!

Iigths and shadows

...a detail from an old colonial house.

Beetles

I was on the car and I saw on the road a nice house with three beetle cars outside, a collection? or traditional car for the family?... what do you think about it?.

Estuve en el auto y vi en el camino una linda casa de campo con tres autos escarabajos, ¿una colección? o ¿es el auto tradicional para la familia?... que creen ustedes?

Boring

These dogs looks a little boring, maybe inside of the house is so quite and they prefer to see people walk in front of them while they enjoy the sunshine.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Este par de prros lucen aburridos, tal vez todo está tan tranquilo que prefieren ver pasar a la gente frente a ellos mientras disfrutan del sol.

historical lines

These metal grates protect the old churches of Trujillo, they are part of the beauty of the place too, just that some of them are better cared for than others.

Estas rejas metálicas protejen a las antiguas iglesias de Trujillo, también son parte de la belleza del lugar, solo que algunas están mejor cuidadas que otras.

old machine

I found this old sewing machine, forgotten or resting after so many years of work... I think it's a nice relic.

Encontré esta vieja maquina de coser, olvidada o descansando después de tantos años de trabajo... creo que es una linda reliquia .

Surf class

Time for tangerines

I love tangerine, it's one of my favorite fruit :) ...this time of the year you can see this fruit everywhere.

A different angle

Inside of the Central Market I saw this different sight from the San Agustin Church, it looks a little sad maybe for the colors.

Dentro del mercado Central vi una vista diferente de la Iglesia San Agustin, es una vista un poco triste tal vez por los colores.

July 2008 Theme Day: "No . . ."

"No" for sale... it's common to read a note at some house "for sale", but in this case it's different. I guess too much people ask to the owner for the house, and he was tired of hearing the same question and wrote his reply to all.

Theme day is "No...", some DP bloggers posted interesting pics about NO, let's enjoy theses posts, ... Click here to view thumbnails for all participants

Trujillo on the "earth"

I was walking at the Trujillo main square and I saw a huge pic on the floor, it was a shot from "google earth", I guess, but I didn't know why this was here.

Estuve caminando en la plaza de armas de Trujillo y vi una foto enorme sobre el piso, supongo que era una toma del "Google Earth", lo que no supe era que hacía eso allí.

Waiting for...

This little bird was standing in an old column, it was hurt, with the broken wing, a child wounded when he was testing the aim with a stone... she was waiting for, for starting the flight to its home or to eternity.

Esta avecita estaba parada en una vieja columna del muelle antiguo, ella tenía el ala rota, un niño la hirió cuando probaba punteria con una piedra... ella esperaba emprender vuelo hacia su hogar o hacia la eternidad.
