tower

Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico

the Palace complex as viewed from the Temple of the Inscriptions...evidently the late 8thC tower was used for astronomical observations...the ancient Maya developed a very accurate estimation of the length of a solar year

Canon AE-1/Kodachrome

other sizes: small medium large auto

That's very cool! Great point of view and works so well in black and white. Amazing that I only see one person there and having him there really shows you how big this place is! V

Another place I badly want to go that you have already been to. This image has such amazing depth, mood and impact - due a lot to the perfect contrast of the Kodachrome and the mystery and oldness imparted by the B&W. ~BV~
