after hanging out with black jesus and watching the sunset at the top of the cerro in sucre, i made my way back down. as i did the trees cleared and the post-sunsetted sky turned a beautiful orangey-red. i had my tripod with me so close to the bottom of the hill i set it up and fired off a shot. it was only after i finished that i noticed i was being observed by scary looking dog which was (almost) the size of a (small) horse. i went to make my exit and it began barking aggressively and slowly advancing towards me. i don't usually get too bothered by dogs over here, but as i was out of the centre and probably on 'his territory' i did feel threatened. my tripod was still in hand, so i waved it in his general direction as i slowly backed away. each swing resulted in the beast retreating a few steps before it realised there was little danger posed by my cheapass tripod so it soon ignored it. luckily i had already made up enough ground, so with my heart beating fast i scampered down the rest of the hill and made my escape.

here's the original
