The first image is very good. In the second you should have gotten the entire building. I like the colors on the building. I guess the darkest part was built later?

Goddamn, I need to go there.

First one is definitely the "classic" shot, but it works.

I believe the darker part is the original Incan masonry. The lighter part is the inferior Spanish construction.

read about Incan masonry - it is incredible. they used NO mortar and no beasts of burden.

many photogrpahers go to great lengths to avoid people or fellow tourists in their photos. From my experience/memory of Cuzco, this is a situation when it would have helped. The walls and doorway are quite large. Without people, or perhaps some other object (rent a llama?), it is impossible to convety the real scale of the subject.


....really, you sell pencils? in HK? You must sell a heck of a lot to be able to travel around the world. Are these teak pencils?
