The "llamas" (Lama glama) in Machu Picchu. Vanity and selfies

It is known that the fashion of selfies is spread throughout the world by the massive offer of smartphones (smartphones) with great power for the generation, storage and processing of high resolution images; accessible to all by the low prices. For some, the habit of taking a selfie is a fashion, and therefore, temporary. For others, the constant creation of photographs reveals a mental or psychological disorder.

This potential problem is a matter of humans; however, in Machu Picchu, an autochthonous animal that inhabits this place, and that accepts, tolerates and interacts with the tourists that arrive continuously to this place, it seems that it also had an inclination for the selfies

The "flame" (Lama glama ") is this animal, that alone or in the company of tourists, looking for the camera to be portrayed, with grace and elegance. In these images it seems that he deliberately looked for the camera.

In other cases, it seems that he posed as if he were indifferent to the camera. You can look towards infinity or contemplate with pride, your domains, your territory, the citadel of Machu Picchu.

The "llama" is not a solitary creature, as the previous photos seem to indicate. Actually, he coexists with humans, with whom he has a great affinity.
