Inca legacy, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2001

The Canari Inca, Tupac Yupanqui, founded the city of Tomebamba in what is now Cuenca around 1470 – it was said to have rivaled Peru’s Cuzco in its splendor. All that is left of Tomebamba are a few ruins and this monument to him just south of those ruins. I photographed the monument from behind, throwing the thrust of his lance against a spectacular cloudscape.
