Today I was joined by a fellow photographer and new Cuenca resident, Paul Wolf, for a trek around Parque Paraiso, a lovely huge family park southeast of El Centro. Paul was interested in trying to get bird photographs whereas I am more of a generalist.
Paul's phenomenal works for sale may be viewed at http://www.paulwolf.smugmug.com/
