After walking the Inca Trail for three days, waking up at 3:30 a.m., arriving at Inkipunku (the Gate of the Sun) around 5:30, the sun came up, but the sky was full of clouds. We waited patiently, and then, all of a sudden, the clouds parted, and there it was -- Macchu Picchu, the ancient Inca city.
Two notes: (1) I was reluctant at first to post this photo because it is such a standard view of a very famous place, but I was suprised to see that there was only one small shot of Macchu Picchu on the site, so I decided to go ahead. (2) I cropped the origninal on all sides.
