Machu Picchu - A Different View

This is one of my favorite images of Machu Picchu. it gives you a better sense of the topography of the site than any of the others we took. This is taken from the area of the ruins thought to house the working class residents. Looking back at the terraces gives you a pretty good feel for how steep the hills are that the site is built on. This picture is much more impressive in full screen, so click on the image above for the large version.
