Passageway
Getting from room to room inside one of the structures in Machu Picchu.
Each individual block is shaped to fit precisely. There is no mortar holding them in place.
Quite remarkable as the Incas used no draft animals, iron tools, or wheels.

Safe Place for Storage
On the tip of the rock are terraces and buildings for storing grain.
One can sign up to take the trail to the top. A limited number of people per day get to do this. (Although too small to see in this small format, there are people up there.) There is no chairlift.
We took a pass.

Impossible not to continue to explore.

Long Way Down
We are a long way above the river in the valley.
Machu Picchu is almost on the top of the world.

Books have been published. Articles written. This place is worth the trip.
This photograph has been made a million times by others.
To resist making one for myself was futile!

A Bit of Summer
We had the most gorgeous snowfall yesterday. Light, fluffy, a joy to ski through.
However, others are starting to pine for Summer.
So, in their honour I will post this:
I am a sucker for daisies.
