Peru, Inti Raymi At Sacsayhuaman, 1979

Peru, Inti Raymi At Sacsayhuaman, 1979 - The stone work at Sacsuaman is amongst the most incredible I have seen. As visible in this photograph, enormous stones are fitted one on top of the other. What is not visible here is that, even though the stones are sometimes on the order of 3 meters across, you cannot fit a quarter in between some of them, so fine is the workmanship! This is incredible considering it was made centuries ago. This vintage photograph was taken with a Kodak Instamatic on my second international trip, a six month journey overland across Central and South America.
