Hello dear Black and White community,

Love ,These young lovers reminded me of my first steps into those adventures: falling in love, doing crazy things, laughing, crying a whirlwind of emotions you begin to discover. When it starts, everything is beautiful; when it ends, it hurts.

I was heading to the cross at the top of Los Álamos Hill and, as I reached the summit, I spotted this couple walking in the distance. I decided to take a few shots as I moved forward with Kora. Unexpectedly, I found them cuddled up under the watchful gaze of the Lord, and I couldn’t help but smile.

Here in Peru, we are a very Catholic country, a heritage left by the Spanish after the conquest. Many Inca temples were destroyed to build churches and cathedrals over them. To this day, that faith still moves crowds. I’m not a practicing Catholic myself, but I come from a deeply religious family, and I can’t deny I also have faith. I always entrust my day to “El Barbas” (Jesus); for me, it’s a way to meditate and connect with my inner peace, something that greatly helps me manage my disorders.

I would have loved to share these photos with the couple, but I didn’t want to interrupt their romantic moment. So they stayed in my archives and now I share them with you, hoping you’ll enjoy them as much as I did.

Thanks for being part of this ongoing #MonoMadChallenge adventure!

Hola querida comunidad en Blanco y Negro

El amor. Los muchachos me hicieron recordar mis primeros pasos en aquellas aventuras: enamorarse, hacer locuras, reír, llorar un sinfín de emociones que uno empieza a descubrir. Cuando comienza, todo es hermoso; cuando termina, duele.

Salía hacia la cruz del cerro de Los Álamos y, llegando a la cima, me encontré con esta parejita caminando a lo lejos. Decidí sacarles unas fotos mientras avanzaba con Kora. Sin esperarlo, los hallé bien acaramelados bajo la mirada del Señor, y no pude evitar sonreír.

En Perú somos un país muy católico, herencia que dejaron los españoles tras la conquista. Muchos templos incas fueron destruidos para levantar sobre ellos iglesias y catedrales. Hasta hoy, esa fe sigue moviendo multitudes. Yo no me considero un católico practicante, pero vengo de una familia profundamente creyente, y no negaré que también tengo fe. Siempre encomiendo mi día al “Barbas” (Jesús); para mí es una forma de meditar y conectarme con mi paz interior, algo que me ayuda mucho a manejar mis trastornos.

Me hubiera gustado poder compartir estas fotos con la parejita, pero no quise interrumpir su momento romántico. Así que quedaron para mis archivos y ahora para ustedes, con la esperanza de que también les gusten.

Gracias por acompañarme en esta aventura continua del #MonoMadChallenge

That cross on the hill looked a lot like a place here in Venezuela called El Peñón in Montalbán. Greetings and good photos!
