First Light on Machu Picchu

In previous posts I tried to describe what it felt like to see Machu Picchu for the first time, just at the moment of sunrise, after hiking for four days to get there. Here's a closeup of the first rays of sunlight hitting the ruins that morning. Taken from the Sun Gate.

 

I think that's about it for Peru photos... Tomorrow morning I'll start posting some Bay Area shots from the past few weeks.
