La Iglesia de La Ermita Part I

Click on the Church for a larger image. The music is here.

Just beyond the Church and the hill on the left is the Pacific Ocean. As you can see, there is no roof. There were blackbirds and crows perched on the roof’s skeleton which made this look like a deleted scene from The Omen. I’ll have a different take on the roof in the near future.

“Legend has it that many years ago, a group of fishermen were lost in Lima’s winter sea mist for several hours. After praying and searching in the dense darkness, they saw a bright, glittering light in the distance. They rowed towards it and were saved. Once on land, they looked for the place where they had seen the light and found a cross. La Ermita was built on that spot.”

More information about the Church and the beautiful district of Barranco can be found here.
