Vertigo Sufferers Beware :: Reserva Nacional de Paracas, Perú :: © 2004 Patrick Esmonde

I took this image with my guide holding onto me so I could get just the right angle. I was looking straight down almost 300 feet.

Vertigo Sufferers Beware

Date:

June 17, 2004

Location:

Reserva Nacional de Paracas, Perú  This is one of the largest protected areas in Peru and deservedly so. Situated along the pacific coast, the rocky, orange shoreline connects the ocean and the desert. The "map" that I was given at the entrance was not even worth having. Looking like a child drew it with crayons on a bar napkin, I was really glad that I had my GPS with me and was able to use it to navigate around this large park. For most of the way there were no roads, bur rather large hills of sand with only small rock road markers keeping the cars away from the cliffs. There were no guardrails or anything else to prevent visitors from driving their cars directly into the ocean (which actually almost happened to me!) A famous part of this reserve is Islas Ballestas, a small group of islands off the coast that is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Series:

Natural Compositions  Something of an Andy Goldsworthy attempt, these images are a collection of compositions that I created with only nature as I found it. I love to see how just the composition of a natural space and make it come alive and really focus in on the details.
