thales milesius 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Another classic view of my country, I loved to be there to take it by myself, at the best moment of the day. Link to comment
simanta 0 Posted March 26, 2004 nice shot, but the shadows on the ground on left is bit distracting for me Link to comment
eye2eyephoto 0 Posted March 26, 2004 I saw the shadows as balancing the pic... hmmm... I loved the light and depth... great harsh shadows showing off the shapes and colors... good job! Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Nice rhyme between architexture and landscape (mountains) mike Link to comment
thales milesius 0 Posted March 29, 2004 Jack I also believe that the shadows balances the composition, thanks Simanta for your point of view.Mike, that rythm is an architecture's attribute. You can see it everywhere in Machu Picchu and particularly in one place near the path to Huayna Picchu where a large ceremonial carved rock mimics exaclty the profile of the mountains behind it, at several miles of distance.Jacques, this shot was taken in last November so yes, I was lucky because it was already rains season, and although the clouds were there in the early morning disturbing most of all possible MP's angles, the afternoon used to be clear and bright. So this one was possible because I decided to miss a train. :) The absolute best moment for taking pictures there is around May and June. Sarah, thanks for stepping by. Link to comment

alberto.conde 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Thanks for pointing out to the scale help of the man walking up the stairs. Really impressive!Great light Link to comment
thales milesius 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Gracias Angel y Alberto por sus comentarios. Alberto, there's another hint on the scale of MP here. If you carefully look at the Huayna Picchu summit in this photo (large pic) you'll notice a house-like construction near the top, without its roof. More precisely in the left side, on top of a large shadow. Well, you can take a closer look to the scale of that summit by going to this other picture (link). I hope you'll enjoy it. Link to comment
fergus kane 0 Posted April 1, 2004 A nice shot....... I though you might be interested in a slightly different perspective on the same site. (Should be linked below) We did the four day standard treck to get to MP, rain and snow for the first three days so we saw nothing - but a bit of sun at Machu Picchu made up for it all.

simanta 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Augusto and Jack.. I was wrong.. I just happened to see this photo once again now, and I find it different from my first view, yes, shadows are balancing the picture, - cause otherwise the bottom-left conrner would have been dull.. don't know why I said that shadows on this photo was harsh.. may be I got that impression at a first glance..But..anyway...
