The Virtual Paintout is in Lima, Peru this month, and my first thought was to have a look at the Lima Cathedral and
the townhouses of the original Conquistadors in the vicinity of the cathedral.
I suspected the Baroque ornamentation of the Spanish colonial architecture would
prove rather difficult to draw so I wasn't sure that was what I wanted to do,
and when I got to that part of town on the map, I discovered the Google car hadn't got anywhere near the Plaza Mayor, so there were no Google Streetviews
of any of the area I had in mind anyway… and no big decisions about whether or not
to try the cathedral!
I just wandered around town and picked a Streetview with
mountains in the background. Here is a link to it
