WatchTower at Humahuaca

Humahuaca, Argentine view map

From this tower the native indians watched to warn for the coming of the spanish invaders
added: The cactuses show how they thought about that :-)))))
The skies at this altitude (2800m) are very very deep blue, also due to the very low humidity. For this reason not far from here are the largest telescopes on our planet, just in Chile, but even a tad higher

Die twee cactussen lijken net twee handen met iets teveel vingers. :) Heel komisch.
