The Reward
The Inca Trail is a great way to experience the lost Inca city of Machu Picchu built high up in the Peruvian Andes. Our hike along the Inca Trail began at the Km 104 Station and ended as we entered the "lost city of the Inca" with this view being our reward. This photo is taken in the dry season, with late afternoon sunshine and smoke in the air from forest fires in the region. Technical Note: At the time it was taken in 2007, this photo was bracketed, full frame in RAW. It is truly wonderful to now process the original RAW file as an HDR image using current software.
