[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The construction of the Kukulcán Pyramid at Chichén Itzá was planned so that each Vernal Equinox the dying sun would cast a shadow of a serpent writhing down the steps of the pyramid.

Every year over 40,000 people make the trek to the great pyramid to watch in awe as the snakes diamond backed body slowly appears.
Sorry don't have that picture but I'll try and locate one)

This construction is an icon of the city “CHICHÉN ITZÀ – La ciudad al borde del pozo de los itzáes” wich was the most important regional capital in 750 a 1200 A.C., linking the Classic and the Postclassic Mesoamerican age.

Rui,
Muito boa fotografia, mostrando todos esses detalhes desse interessante lugar. O POV e a iluminação estão muito boas.

Excelente fotografia.

Oi Rui, estou ca de volta fazendo WS em suas fotos. O enquadramento esta muito bom. Gostei realmente mostrando somente o templo com um pouco de verde a esquerda. Teria ficado mais interessante com uma unica pessoa la encima. Sei que nao e facil em lugares tao bem frequentados por turistas e isto foi exatamente a minha razao de dar uma de cirurgiao. De uma olhada na WS.
Abracos, Peter
