Photographer’s Note

Série sobre minha Viagem ao PERU - América do Sul - RUÍNAS DE PISAC - VALLE SAGRADO/VALE SAGRADO - CUSCO - De 06 a 22 de Setembro de 2007 - nº 010 !

(Series on my Trip to PERU - South America - PISAC RUINS - VALLE SAGRADO/SACRED VALLEY - CUSCO - From September 6th to 22nd, 2007 - # 010 !)

RUÍNAS DE PISAC - PISAC RUINS - In the VALLE SAGRADO/SACRED VALLEY, the ruins of PISAC are pretty similar to Machu Picchu, but much smaller and in a much more arid area, pretty close to the city of Cusco. To visit it, one leaves the small town of PISAC in the valley (where one can also visit a typical peruvian market) and goes up (usually by bus) to the mountains around where the ruins are. Then, one can walk around the site, full of terraces and ruins of temples and other buildings, all of them made of stone!

Two WS versions: a square shaped one and another one that shows the beginning of the tracks around the PISAC ruins!

PISAC IN THE LOCAL LANGUAGE MEANS "PARTRIDGE".
(Pisac = Perdiz, em português)

Hi Ney,
Great shot of this fantastic country with very spectacular diagonal composition and depth. The optic angle is superb, the depth is dizzying. Hiking over this place may be a fantastic experience.Thank you for sharing. Congratulations. Have a nice day!
George

Hi Neyvan,
Wonderful view. Mountain slopes are very steep there and even building such a narrow path has required a lot of work. Those terraces are something I haven't seen before. Fascinating.
Kari

daddo (11569) 2009-02-25 3:19

Hi Ney. Incredible POV and catching part of the path in the corner really gives us the idea of how high and steep the terrain is. The terraces seem to be in excellent condition.Restored? Regards. Klaudio.

Gerrit (36325) 2009-02-25 3:31

Hi Ney,
Fantastic spectacular landscape. Excellent composition with the winding track and the terraces.
Regards, gerrit

snunney (35564) 2009-02-25 3:57

Hello Ney,
A fine view over this beautiful mountain landscape. The steep twisting track makes a very good lead line down to to the terraced area, which is depicted in excellent detail. The depth is superb as is the light. All in all, a fine composition with good natural colours and excellent clarity.

macondo (13275) 2009-02-25 4:24

Hello Ney.
What a spectacular setting for these ruins, and a rather narrow and risky mountain path for the visitors to use. Your viewpoint is superb, looking along the zig-zagging pathway, across the terraces towards the mountains. So well composed and a very good exposure. Great photo and good note.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Ney,
Really a spectactular view with a very good POV. Fine diagonal line through the terrasses!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello Neyvan,
another breath-taking view!!
I would really like to see it live!! Maybe someday,
Nice POV and great colors,
TFS

Greg1949 (8519) 2009-02-25 7:19

Ney, this is a very fine photograph, it shows the country side and the effort required to make this trek. I like the square version better because the detail shown is greater and the crop does not detract from the overall shot. Great work.

Greg

Buin (38330) 2009-02-25 7:32

Hallo Neyvan!
What an impressive sight! A truly worth-visitng place! The composition of this picture with this diagonal foreground is fantastic. A really great landscape ...
Greetings from still cool Germany!

Oi Ney

Acho a nitidez, além de outros detalhes técnicos, o ponto alto de tuas fotos. Não dá para enumerar todas as belezas da foto. Parabéns.
VLW!
Abraços

patdeph (18396) 2009-02-25 13:06

hello Neyvan
woow!Ce payage est vraiment splendide,et très impressionant!Peut-être encore plus impressionant que mes cultures en terrasse népalaises,car il y a ici un chemin si étroit que ça doit donner le vertige de marcher ici!Enfin,moi,ça me plairait beaucoup,c'est grandiose!
Amitiés
Pascale

francio64 (11854) 2009-02-25 13:31

Ciao Neyvan,
in effetti a prima vista mi era sembrato Machu Picchu, poi ho letto la nota e visto che si tratta di Pisac.
Come Machu Picchu, anche questo luogo trovo che sia affascinante e la tua foto lo mostra nel modo migliore.

Well done!
Francesco

tedesse (13230) 2009-02-25 14:07

Hi Ney,

Georg

emka (22439) 2009-02-25 23:38

Hi Neyvan, the way to Pisac... I remember well precisely this piece of the road. I have fear of hight so in this place I felt unsafe and my knees were trembling... Splendid photo showing terraces and the ruins in the distance. Thanks for sharing

Olá Neyvan,
uma vista muito bonita essa mesmo, com bons detalhes em sua captura, e interessante esse caminho nas montanhas, ja me cansou só de ver pela foto, hehe. Belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

stego (22484) 2009-02-26 5:30

Olá Neyvan,
O PdV faz justiça à majestosidade da paisagem, graficamente muito vigorosa, tanto pela inclinação das encostas e das silhuetas das montanhas, como pela profusão de linhas. Uma foto impressionante, muito conseguida!
Um abraço, José.

ciakgiak (11364) 2009-02-26 6:15

Hello Neyvan,
fantastic POV on this incredible landscape, it's really very interesting, the composition is perfect and the presence of turists on the right gives a great sense of life. Well done dear friend.
Best regards.
Giorgio

TopGeo (22279) 2009-02-26 6:29

Ciao Neyvan An excellent shot with long view. Nice colors. Very nice light and bright Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations.

Kielia (8739) 2009-02-26 10:47

Hi Neyvan,
what a wonderful view on this narrow path! For me, living in the low lands of Northern Europe, this is really a breathtaking impression. I like your POV giving me an excellent idea of this fascinating place on our planet. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Ola Ney

The hikers add scale to the massive size of the mts. I like the repetition of the contoured fields along the terraces. Good sharpness & high pov. Tfs!

jmdias (19953) 2009-02-26 16:38

ney

quando estive aqui preferi mostrar os terraços e a sua perfeição, aqui vc mostra isso e o caminho tortuoso que leva a eles, adiciona muito mais informações e interesse ao conjunto. me faz relembrar aqueles momentos e até a rebelião de uns turistas espanhóis contra o pobre guia local.haha. lindo trabalho, excelente pov, enquadramento, luz e assunto

abraços

ciao neyvan,
bellissima questa immagine con i turisti che scendono su questra stradina a precipizio.
Un'ottima composizione con le terrazze delle coltivazioni e le splendide montagne sullo sfondo.
buona giornata amico
maurizio

grazie per la visita e il commento alla mia 200th

Hi Ney
Twice I walked this path, always a pleasure to do, as we come close to experience the nature of Peru.
Your point of view emphasizes the sheer drop to the valley, just a ribbon of a path to keep us safe.
A good shot which reminds me of good souvenirs.
Charles

riclopes (33135) 2009-03-08 0:02

Cá estou eu outra vez, Neyvan...Também me lembro bem deste local. O caminho vertiginoso é fabuloso e o facto de teres apanhado os degraus a brilhar sob o sol resultou num efeito de grande beleza fotográfica. Muito bem.
um abraço,
ricardo
