This is, I think, the last of the shots from my mad dash acrros the ruins. This shot differs from the others in that with this one the sun is actually hitting the grass transforming it into a brilliant, almost neon, green. That is what stuck me most about the Peruvian Highlands: all the many and varied shades of green. I am not sure if it is the altitude, the soil, or the species in that part of the world, but there were so many greens and they were all vibrant in such in a way that the camera was seldom able to replicate. This image comes close. in the left hand corner are terraces and a few builbings from Machu Pichu just shortly after the sun stated hitting them.

This image was slightly sharpened and contrast adjusted in the background to bring out the detail from the rain.
