The fortress of Sacsayhuamán (XVe century). This site located at two kilometers with the top of Cuzco is impressive by its three enormous enormous made stone walls assembled in the purest inca style: without mortar and with a perfect adjustment.
Certain stones make nearly 6 m in height for almost as much broad. On this site takes place every year the festival of Inti Raimi, festival of the sun to the inca mode. It gathers thousands of tourists; it is the second festival of South America.

Here, it was not the moment of the festival, the zone is almost deserted.

I put in WS a B&W version, I have really evil to find which is the best…

See on this site, of the photographs and the explanations on this ancestral festival: "Inti Raymi", the Sun celebration

Bonjour Philippe,
Superbe prise de vue de la forteresse, ce site est vraiment grandiose et les personnages nous en donnent l'échelle. Bel angle choisi avec la montagne et ses nuages accrochés au fond. Très jolies couleurs, pour ma part je préfère celle-ci.
Bonne journée.
Amitiés
Martine

Salut Philippe, sympa tous ces petits humains perdus là au milieu de ce magnifique endroit...

Salut Philippe,
Excellent POV. Les êtres humains sont tout petit et se détachent bien avec ce fond clair.
L'immensité est très bien restituée.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Hello,

Etant amoureux des vieilles pierres, tu me fais plaisir ici. Le site a l'air gigantesque. Au premier plan on peut voir un exemple de ce parfait ajustement de pierre. Belles couleurs chaudes.
Bien vu.

A+
