Sacret Valley of Incas Photo

Photographer’s Note

With few kilometers in the north of Cusco the beautiful valley Urubamba extends. It is called Valle Sagrado of los Incas.
It is located at 2700 meters of altitude, but you can already smell the influence of the Amazonian air. The climate is hotter and wet there that in Cusco, which is at only one hour in the car. This protected area is perfect for agriculture and was the principal resource of INCA civilization in altitude. The fertile fields strongly contrast with the mountains of the Andes.

very nice view, in type "how i wish I was there" - maybe slightly too dark

Bonjour Dominique,
Bien que ta photo soit assez sombre, on y devine un ensoleillement puissant, et ces nuages blancs-gris qui vu l'altitude sont bien bas sont tout simplement superbes.
Un bon cadrage.
Daniel.

Really a gorgeuous scene! A wonderful balance of colors and composition. Really well done!

Bonjour Dominique.
ton coucou me donne l'occasion de découvrir ta gallerie. Des choses fabuleuses, des destinations non moins fameuses, et des clichés splendides.
celle-ci, quoiqu'un poil sombre me plait beaucoup. ce coté agricole, cette montagne que l'érosion s'est amusée à sculpter, cette lumiere saturée, tout simplement tres beau.
amicalement
alain

Hi Dominique - sky is magnificent, and I also like the darkness level, it adds a nice mood to the scenery, my favourite part is where the snow touches the black clouds.
