Moray magic vibration Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sembla una banyera gegant, o una pista d'aterratje gegantina per Ovnis, però és en realitat un camp de cultiu experimental Inca. Cadasqun dels set nivells te un microclima propi que permetia l'experimentació fa mil anys amb diferents tipus d'agricultura. Al mitj dels cercles es poden veure els canals de rec pels quals es deixava baixar aigua per banyar-ho tot.

Aquí es va "inventar" la patata que avui menjem

This place is Moray, one of the places more magicians of Peru. Apparently it was used for the Incas, 1000 years ago, like field of agricultural experimentation, but nobody knows the real begining of it.

Each one of the seven levels is also a spiritual way of approach to the Pacha Mama (Earth in quechua languaje)heart. The microclimate is changing in each one and the Inca people were made all type of grafts. Here it was discovered, among others, the potato that today we eat all.

In the center of image we can see the water way to irrigate the circles. Just falling down the water in the first one, the seven were perfectly irrigates.

Normaly, people in the center they feel full of peace and magnetism. Manny people do a meditation inside. I did.

This is a beautiful image and wonderful note Jordi. I can imagine the effect of sitting at the bottom of this sacred site, both the energy and the sounds.

I'm reminded of the theatre at Epidaurus in Ancient Greece. I know these sites serve different purposes, but I recall sitting at the precise center of the amphitheater where every sound from the entire place was heard clear as crystal. I have that sense as I look at the person sitting in meditation at the center of this elaborate structure.

Once again you create an antique feeling through the use of sepia. It strikes me as perfectly appropriate to this image. The stone walls with the steps jutting out capture the eye. Details are nicely rendered. This is a fine image and perfect TE subject, especially with your excellent note.

The monotonous shapes are contrasted with the person in the middle, which, despite its small volume, almost seems to dominate the focus of the pix. Thanks for your notes. They added something to what you felt. Good shot!
