Coming Up For Air


I snapped this photo a couple of years ago at Machu Picchu. I intended on posting it as a nice little break from politics. You know, a little slice of beauty among the muck and anxiety that currently surrounds us. I even stole the title from my favorite Orwell novel, which has a similar theme.

But it just isn’t working. For some reason, those llamas conjure up vague images of low-information voters. I think it’s the expression on the white one’s face. And notice too, of course, that they're lounging on the ruins of a dead civilization.

Sorry everyone. I tried. I really did.
