This is my tribute to Chichen Itza, which was voted into the top 7 "New Wonders of The World" through a global poll this month in July 2007. I thought it was nearly impossible to inject any sense of mystery and drama to my photo that day, given my circumstances: Chichen Itza is one of Mexico's most visited archeological sites and there were throngs of people! The lighting was disappointingly flat and dull that day; and the stark, treeless, well-manicured lawns hardly suggested the atmosphere of a "lost civilization" in the jungle. Then towards the end of my visit, the rain clouds came and gave me a much needed dramatic backdrop for my image!
