Thanks. I had altitude sickness when I took it, so not quite relaxed and soothed. Thought I was hallucinating it!

LOL I can imagine, how did you set up the shot?

A little back story: This picture was taken at about midday in a small village called Chivay, in the Peruvian Andes. I'd arrived early that morning and was suffering from mild altitude sickness. I just bought a bag of coca leaves, to help ease my throbbing head, from a lovely old lady after a garbled conversation in a mixture of English, Spanish and Quechuan. I walked into the village's plaza and lay down on a bench with my eyes shut. When I opened them, the sun was exploding! I thought "well, I'm either hallucinating, or dying, so why not take a picture". As you can see, no set up, just random chance. This is how some of my best pictures happen.

Thanks for your interest.
