Gathering Mayan Solstice storm? --- 2010 Mexico 133e Piramid of Kukulcan

I would say" pyramid" but this is its local spelling. Magnificent structure!

 

26 meters high, square base of 55.5 meters per side. Nine platforms that get smaller as they rise. All built in careful precision with the seasons and the sun.

 

See my Mexico set for more shots of this amazing World Heritage site one of the modern 7 wonders of the world
