POTD: Selfie with Police

From 2019 08 17 Lima, Peru

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Plaza de Armas de Lima in Peru. The unidentified woman is obviously taking a selfie with the Cathedral of Lima in her background. What the police in riot gear are expecting to happen was never discovered. On another side of the plaza is the presidential palace. Maybe a political protest there?

After the jump, another tourist getting a photo with the police in front of that presidential palace.

POTD: Catacombs of Lima

From 2019 08 17 Lima, Peru

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the catacombs of the Basilica de San Francisco de Lima in Peru. If the few skulls visible through the grate in the main aisle of the church are not enough to impress the certainty of death on you, just take a walk down into the catacombs, where 25,000 bodies were interred up until the early 1800s.

More photo after the jump.

POTD: Memento Mori

From 2019 08 17 Lima, Peru

A less jarring photo of the basilica is after the jump. The dark spot in the aisle floor is the grate.
