Jade room

Chichen Itza, Mexico

This is actually the red jaguar throne, located inside the "el castillo" pyramid in Chichen Itza.
The only jade is in the eyes and spots of the jaguar, I just like this white balance adjustment more as it gives the whole room a wonderful green glow.

Excellent! You did well here! I kept getting jostled in there and ended up having to hand hold. If I ever get a chance to go back in there, however, I won't!
