Let's turn the spotlight on, please

Machu Picchu

It was sunny with patchy clouds on the first day we were there. After scoping the area and discovering what seemed to be a good point of view, I waited for almost two hours for the sun to just penetrate the clouds enough to spotlight only the sanctuary but less of the surrounding area - Reprocessed in Feb 2012

This is a magical place to be especially having the right light conditions as you did.
I was there in December 1984 and I will not forget the impact of this view for the rest of my life.
Excellent picture Joshua, congratulations.
