First Anniversary trip (slightly delayed), April 2008
Peru
Machupicchu and Waynapicchu, page 2
MOUSEOVER on the shot below to see the approximate path I hiked up Waynapicchu. Following shots will give a better view of the ruins built at the peak.
MOUSEOVER on this one of the peak of
Waynapicchu
to see the areas focused on from this perspective.

At the actual peak of Waynapicchu
Notice the tiny people bowing to me?
(I just asked another guy to take this shot
to show the perspective,
though the city is almost completely obscured by the clouds.
I didn't realize how the composition would turn out.)
Especially considering the walls in a shot like this
(above), Jan observed that
Macchupicchu probably wasn't actually abandoned. They all died building it.
Back in the city with Jan
MOUSEOVER on the shot below to get a
better idea of the scale,
emphasized in the shot above, and the
hard-to-see stairways in the two
detail shots below.
