Photo by @KristaRossow // Recently I enjoyed the crashing and grumblings of an Andean thunderstorm in Cuenca, Ecuador. It was quite the show, but what I was hoping for was the calm after the storm, the moment when the sun peeks out from below the clouds and casts a gorgeous spotlight on a city washed clean. Although it was fleeting, I captured the post-storm light shining on the towers of the Iglesia de Santo Domingo in the historic city center. Follow @KristaRossow to see more of #Ecuador.
