It is the end of the rainy season, this year is not that bad in the south of Peru, but the Central Andes and the north of the country is really suffering flooding and landslide :-/sury wrote:Excellent set, Jeff. I presume it is fog in #2 and #4.
You mean walk down in to the canyon?

Parts of the country are really having a hard time. Adobe houses are collapsing in the north, people and livestock are caught in flash floods and run-off. People are losing there homes, businesses, and lives. Here in the south it's not quite as bad. However, twice we've lost city water because of landslides filling the river with mud making it impossible to purify. The rain is necessary, but I prefer the sun.
This is a bad year. It usually happens on El Niño years, but El Niño was last year, so I guess this are the left overs, and are hitting the north of the country badly. I don't remember this amount of rain since the early 80's.sury wrote:Pako, Jeff,
It is always devastating when these calamities occur. I hope the suffering is not severe.
Are these typical seasonal events or atypical this year? Just curious.
