mercy, mercy me
this is my sixth shot from sauce in peru. i mentioned in my first photo that the pouring rain presented a bunch of new photo opportunities. the most unexpected of these was a cloud of bats (yeah i looked that up) who began circling the hammock shelter. they were so fast and agile that it became really difficult to try and capture them. this was my best effort, which is far from perfect but i still thought it was worth of posting as a) it's the first time i've seen bats in the day and b) i'm inexplicably smug of my kanye referenced title. because it was the first time i'd seen bats in the day i had to double check what they were with my spanish friend. despite a thick castilian accent i managed to make out the word murcielago. i learnt that word after hearing that bruce wayne drives a lamborghini murcielago as it's the spanish word for bat. just goes to show watching the dark knight isn't just fun - it's educational... just like this blog (ahem)
