Lima, Peru, November 2008
The Plaza de Armas and Cathedral in Lima
Francisco Pizarro's tomb in Lima's Cathedral
American film-making crew filming the heroine's escape from the bad guys. If you look carefully between the balconies, you can see the stunt double for the (unknown) female lead sliding down one of the streamers decorating the building. The photographer is at the bottom right in the khaki shirt and hat, with his camera carriage rolling along a section of track laid out on the pavement. The next morning, when the filming was over, all the streamers and ballons decorating the building had disappeared. The movie is an Indiana Jones type movie. The title is as yet uncertain, but will have El Dorado in the title. The crew had filmed scenes in Machu Picchu several days before.
