The Beauty of Ecuador in Photographs

I was driving home on the congested Toronto highway today when my mind drifted towards the vibrant colours of Ecuador. Before me stood kilometres of dusty cars, winter worn pot-holed roads, and cold weather that has beaten down a population of otherwise cheery folks...for months on end.

I thought, maybe I'll glance at a photo or two when I get home, it's been a while. Then I thought, maybe I'll post a "photo-essay," seeing as I've never truly done that on my blog before. So, here it is. This is my story of Ecuador in photographs. And, if a picture is worth a thousand words, than this is the fastest I've written 20,000 words in my life.
