 Walking in the rain by El_Sueco
(in fact, it is not *rain*, it is garúa or llovizna which means that the relative humidity is 100 por cent, and when the temperature falls the air cannot hold the water, which then falls out in a form similar to rain)
... I mean, to you it will make no differens if it is rain or lluvizna, as long as you get wet.
This garúa is most frequent during the winter period (in June-July-August), when the weather in Lima not is at its best. Leave a Comment

 The tiles by SirRichardLeave a Comment

This square was located in the historic center of Lima. The monument in the middle was commissioned by the Peruvian government to commemorate the Battle of Callao which occurred on May 2, 1866 between a Spanish fleet under the command of Admiral Casto Méndez Núñez and an alliance of Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Ecuador, in the Peruvian port city of Callao during the Chincha Islands War.
The Spanish fleet bombarded the port of Callao (or El Callao), but eventually withdrew without any major damage to the city structures. In the aftermath, the Peruvians celebrated the battle as a victory, claiming that they had stopped the Spanish from trying to re-colonize South America. On the other hand, since Spain had not yet recognized Peru as an independent nation, the Spanish claimed the battle as a Spanish victory since the intention was to punish Peru, not invade it.
The central monument was constructed in France and arrived in Lima between 1873 and 1874. The monument had to be reassembled and erected in a square that had previously been known as the Oval of the Queen. It had been one of the gates of the city. Buildings of Haussmann influence were popular along the avenues that led to this square. In the late 20th century a tunnel was constructed under the plaza so as to relieve vehicular congestion.

At the center of the Plaza Mayor, there is a magnificent ornamental bonze fountain, fused by Antonio Rivas, dating from 1650, and bearing the coats-of-arms of Lima, Spain, and of the Viceroy Conde de Salvatierra. However there is so much else going on in the square that I only have one photo of this fountain - I hardly noticed it.
But there are other fountains and art and statuary in Lima. Some like the statue in St. Martin's square traditional (photo 4), and some modern (photo 5) Leave a Comment

 Lima Cathedral by Ramonq
Driving along the Pacific coast of Lima. Lima's air pollution can be oppresive, the sea breeze is invigorating. It was a great relief to see the ocean after trekking around the interiors of South America. Leave a Comment
