on Titicaca


on Titicaca
a pair of towers red rock,
white cumulus cloud


The clouds of the high altiplano of Peru are magnificent, huge, ever changing. We spent the afternoon on an isolated beach at Lake Titicaca. The half-moon of sand curved below cliffs of red rock. At one end towered this castle and at one point I glanced up to see a cumulus cloud mimicking the castle. The castle made of rocks will stand unmoving for many years, overlooking the lake, while the cloud made of water vapor will quickly move on, crossing the wide expanse of water.
