Chimborazo, Ecuador, Guaranda, Jakes Sunday Post Peaceful, Peaceful Landscapes, Snow Capped volcano
Jake’s Sunday Post prompts us for images that illustrate peaceful. Â Here are some images that show the serene, peaceful Andean area between Volcano Chimborazo and Guaranda Ecuador. Â Â Enjoy! Â Z
Hank, Marie and I drove this stretch of the Andes last month. The story of our first glimpse of “Chimbo” can be found here: Mystical Andes
After drinking in the snow-peaked beauty of Chimborazo, we weaned toward the small city of Guaranda.
Volcano Chimborazo watches over the pastoral landscape near Guaranda Ecuador.
There are many opportunities for “drive-by (camera) shootings” of roadside scenes!
More drive-by shootings!
Stately eucalyptus trees frame the view.
Welcome to Peaceful Guaranda Ecuador!
Ah, Ecuador’s parks and churches provide peaceful settings!
Guaranda’s Central Park
Chimborazo keeps a distant watch over peaceful Guaranda.
For more peaceful images, see Jake’s Sunday Post!
Thanks, Jake!

The place does look idyllic and peaceful and your mountain shots are gorgeous!
Thank you so much! Guaranda is one of my favorite places to visit in the Andes, and my friends agreed with me! Thank you for your comment! Z

Incredible Equador. I am falling in love with this paradise. I really like the foggy photo. Thanks, z.
Thank you as well, gemma! i enjoy all of your posts! z
“Drive-by shootings…”?? Are you having your little joke?? But you need to be careful: you are becoming such an ambassador for that part of the world it will soon be overrun by people leaving their crazy world for your piece of paradise!
You made me laugh, and yes, I should probably insert ” drive by (camera) shootings”
there are many lovely areas, and i think there’s still plenty of room for like-minded people!

Thanks for clearing that up!
