The Plaza, Santa Cruz, Bolivia

Protest, the plaza, Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Protest, the plaza, Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

While in Bolivia, I heard it said “Bolivia is the most democratic country in the world.” The meaning was there is always somebody protesting something.

Our first day in Santa Cruz we walked the plaza, wandering through the booths and crowds. It was a fascinating experience, to be among all that liveliness. I made a number of captures that afternoon, some just snapshots; others more like street photography. My intent was to capture my impression of my first few hours in a new country.
