Dora and her sister visited Peru last year. It was their first international travel and they had a wonderful time. Machu Picchu was the highlight and when they stepped off the bus, Dora's eyes teared at the sight of so magnificent a place.
Like so many of the World Heritage sites around the world, Machu Picchu is considered endangered because of the heavy tourism. Humans just can't seem to walk gently upon the earth.
The man featured on this postage is a Danish paleontologist Peter Lund. He spent much of his life in Brazil exploring the Minas Gerias region. I like the way the ink portrait is layered with the cave photography.
