#161 An Ecuadorian Woman in the Andes - Peoplephotography by Worldcapture Week #10 🇪🇨 | 安第斯深山里的原住民
What's up fellow Steemians! Today I'm sharing some photos I took in the Andean mountains of Ecuador. The head image is my entry for the Peoplephotography contest by @worldcapture. Check out his page and join the photo fun! :)
大家好!今天分享几张在南美厄瓜多尔中部的安第斯山区拍的几张照片。用来参加@worldcapture的摄影活动。感兴趣的朋友也可以查看他的页面,一起来玩吧!
I visited a local family with some other solo travelers on our way back from the Quilotoa crater lake. Here's the stunning lake:
我当天早上从首都基多出发,在青旅门口坐车,一路开到中部去看这个绝美的火山湖,是不是很惊艳?
If my crappy Spanish did work out, this couple should be the grandparents of the lovely boy, and his parents were working somewhere else at that moment. So I did this candid shot of the grandma out of their hut, when she was waiting for her husband to enter. Beautiful smile, isn't it?
回程途中,我和同车的其他几个新认识的旅伴一起参观了这家当地人的住处。如果我的破烂西班牙语没有理解错的话,这对夫妇应该是小男孩的祖父母,他的父母当时离家在别处工作。题图的这张照片是我在他们家门口抓拍的,祖母正在等着她丈夫进屋,脸上绽放出灿烂的笑容,幸福真的就像花儿一样~。😃
These indigenous Kichwa people are descendants of the Incas, the largest of the 13 indigenous communities in Ecuador. They speak Kichwa/Quichua, which is an Ecuador variety of Quechuan languages, a native South American language family spoken primarily in the Andean mountainous regions.
From the 2 photos above, you can see the Kichwa women's traditional clothing: a durable felt hat, a bright synthetic sweater, shawls held over the shoulder, a vibrant skirt, long stockings and black leather shoes. All these keep them warm high up in the Andes mountains, at an elevation of almost 4000 meters.
这些安第斯山区的土著居民被称作Quechua,主要居住在秘鲁,玻利维亚和厄瓜多尔,在哥伦比亚,智利和阿根廷的山区也有分布。
Quilotoa这块地区的山民是古印加国民的后代,是厄瓜多尔十三个原住民聚居区中人口最多的一个。插播一句:厄瓜多尔这个国家麻雀虽小却五脏俱全,从西到东,海滩、高原、丛林都有,迥异的地理环境自然会孕育多样的原住民文化。
在这寒冷的海拔近四千米的高原地区,原住民女性们都戴着传统的毡帽,穿着色彩鲜艳的羊毛衫或外套,暖和的大披肩,下身继续色彩鲜艳的中长裙,厚厚的长筒袜,脚穿黑皮鞋。可能你会觉得她们衣服的颜色搭配有些神奇,😅 但在南美这片神奇的土地上,这种轰轰烈烈的大红大紫却很稀松平常。我当时去还是初夏时节,穿着一件外套爬到山顶,已经被火山湖边缘的凛冽寒风吹得瑟瑟发抖,不禁羡慕起她们保暖的传统装束来。
I'll show you how their living environment looks like and the hundreds of guinea pigs they kept in their house in my coming post. Stay tuned and see you soon! :)
接下来的帖子里我会继续展示他们的居住环境,比如他们和几百只豚鼠住一起的视频,还有那苍莽连绵、如梦如幻的安第斯山脉~。😊

Beautiful captures... I really admire you guys who know how to take photos of people :) To me, it definitely is one of the hardest and most uncomfortable photography disciplines. Cheers to landscapes! :D
Thanks Petr! I’m more comfortable snapping candid shots on streets, and I should try more studio portraits. There are quite a lot of professional photographers on Steemit whose portrait and landscape works are stunning. I guess you’ve also seen them from those contests. :)
