While in Arequipa we took a guided tour over the Andes to Colca Canyon. In addition to enjoying the charming hotel and town, we visited the canyon edge where people gather to watch the giant condors come out and feed in the morning.
Photography wise, I'd never tried to photograph a moving object, much less a bird in flight, and certainly not with a DSLR, which offers the user complete control, whether you know what you are doing or, in my case, not. My bird photos turned out pretty crappy.

The photo was taken through a dirty bus window, hence the mottled appearance of the sky. This is the parking lot and the walkway leading to the overlook where one can view the giant condors as they come out looking for food.
