Day 2 - El Tumi

Well its day 2 of my new photography project and I found this Tumi hanging on the wall and I loved how the yellow color of the wall really brought out the gold color of the Tumi. For those of you who don't yet know the Tumi was a sacrificial knife used by the Incan's in special ceremonies. The knife would be used to sacrifice a llama and their blood would then be offered to the sun god (Inti Raymi - in quechuan). This was practiced during the annual festival of Inti Raymi at the end of the harvest.

This other picture was also chosen in celebration of the 4th of July! Felices Fiestas Patrias!
