Straight off the cam save for a minor crop. Very happy with it. These days I'm finally using full manual -- makes a huge difference.
The seventh day of my trip to Peru and Easter Island.
Spending the day exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu (Quechua: Machu Pikchu) – "Old Mountain", pronounced [ˈmɑtʃu ˈpixtʃu]) is a pre-Columbian Inca site located 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level.[1][2] It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley in Peru, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco and through which the Urubamba River flows. Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often referred to as "The Lost City of the Incas", it is perhaps the most familiar icon of the Inca World.
The Incas started building the estate around AD 1400 but it was abandoned as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Although known locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by the American historian Hiram Bingham. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.[2] Since it was not plundered by the Spanish when they conquered the Incas, it is especially important as a cultural site and is considered a sacred place.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its primary buildings are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. These are located in what is known by archaeologists as the Sacred District of Machu Picchu. In September 2007, Peru and Yale University reached an agreement regarding the return of artifacts which Hiram Bingham had removed from Machu Picchu in the early twentieth century.

Nesta imaxe, tomada a comezos dos sesenta na parroquia de AmorÃn (Tomiño), aparece o meu bisavó José (á dereita, con lentes e xersei claro) diante do carro da Virxe da AgonÃa. Segundo a tradición, que aÃnda perdura, dous nenos ou nenas acompañan a imaxe da virxe durante a procesión vestidos de anxiños, sentados no carro de madeira labrada e tirando pétalos de flores.
A festa da AgonÃa é a máis grande celebrada na parroquia, a pesar de que non é a patroa. A terceira fin de semana de agosto, dalgún xeito todos participaban dunha alegrÃa conxunta, de dÃas de trasfega, comidas familiares, música, baile e mesmo disfraces. Porque foi nesa época na que se comezou a máis curiosa e divertida costume destas festas: o desfile de carrozas. Os veciños e veciñas dos distintos barrios creaban carrozas temáticas, primeiro tiradas por burros e despois por tractores, nas que traballaban durante noites e noites. AÃnda que os espectadores puidesen desfrutar deste espectáculo, realmente quen mellor o pasaban eran as persoas que participaban directamente, disfrazándose e asumindo un papel, para crear auténticas obras de teatro sobre rodas.
Toda a organización destas festas require moito traballo, como se pode observar na cara observadora do meu bisavó, que aquel ano estaba na comisión de festas.
