The condor is one of the most spectacular geoglyphs on the Nazca site.
The Nazca Geoglyphs (or Nazca Lines) are large figures drawn on the ground, often stylized animals, sometimes mere lines several miles long, visible in the Nazca desert in southern Peru.
These geoglyphs were made by the Nazcas, a pre-Inca civilization that flourished between 300 BC AD and 800 AD. There are more than 800 geoglyphs registered.
The ground on which these geoglyphs are outlined is covered with pebbles that iron oxide stains red.
By removing them, the Nazcas brought out a grayish gypsum soil, thus cutting out the outlines of the figures they were tracing.
Several theories have been put forth to explain the existence of these geoglyphs.
Notably, the German mathematician Maria Reiche, who devoted most of her life to archaeological study and preservation of the site, claimed that these geoglyphs would form a huge astronomical calendar.
According to another theory, the geoglyphs represented places of worship and places of activity where the Nazcas walked during ritual processions.
In the trapeziums, the whole space was a processional space. In the linear figures, the Nazcas returned and followed the line to the exit at the other end.

Le condor de Nazca
Le condor est un des géoglyphes les plus spectaculaires du site de Nazca.
Les géoglyphes de Nazca (ou lignes de Nazca), sont de grandes figures tracées sur le sol, souvent d'animaux stylisés, parfois de simples lignes longues de plusieurs kilomètres, visibles dans le désert de Nazca, dans le sud du Pérou.
Ces géoglyphes ont été réalisés par les Nazcas, une civilisation pré-inca qui se développa entre 300 av. J.-C. et 800 de notre ère. On en a recensé plus de 800.
Le sol sur lequel se dessinent ces géoglyphes est couvert de cailloux que l'oxyde de fer colore en rouge.
En les ôtant, les Nazcas ont fait apparaître un sol gypseux grisâtre, découpant ainsi les contours des figures qu'ils traçaient.
Plusieurs théories ont été émises pour expliquer l'existence de ces géoglyphes.
Notamment, la mathématicienne allemande Maria Reiche, qui a consacré la majeure partie de sa vie à l'étude archéologique et à la préservation du site, prétendait que ces géoglyphes formeraient un immense calendrier astronomique.
Selon une autre théorie, les géoglyphes représentaient des espaces cultuels et des lieux d'activité où les Nazcas marchaient, lors de processions rituelles.
Dans les trapèzes, l'ensemble de l'espace était un espace de procession. Dans les figures linéaires, les Nazcas rentraient et suivaient la ligne jusqu'à la sortie à l'autre extrémité.

From this small hilltop you can see some of the Nasca lines (which are both the well known figures and less well known geometric shapes and straight lines) going off into the distance. There are lots of theories on both how and why the lines were made from location of water sources to mapping the constellations - the only thing we really know is that we don't really know!
The Nazca ceramics Nazca reflect a kind of "horror of emptiness" and they are covered with complex representations of human beings, animals and supernatural beings. The feline god still has his role as a deity and is represented in a stylized way. It is a flying feline that wears an imposing nose ornament with long appendages that sometimes end in snake heads. The combination of the feline with the bird and the snake is always visible.

While I was on the Samba, thats the boat we were on during the Galapagos trip,I met an amazing photographer, his name was Eric Chan, here is his blog people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/photos/galleries.php
Go check it out!!!
Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.

As a kid, I loved Indiana Jones movies, and so I was excited to photograph the Aeropuerto de Nazca fuel truck used in one of those movies, now rusting away in a decommissioned WWII airfield, photographed on a cold February evening. I believe this is a 1937 Ford truck. This is a long exposure night photo which shows the movement of the stars over long periods of time. I illuminated the truck with a ProtoMachines LED2 handheld flashlight from camera right while the tripod-mounted camera's shutter was open. This will likely be featured in my next night photography book, which I'm working on now. Until then, my new book "Abandoned Southern California: the Slowing of Time" is out!

Nazca fault (Nazca plate) 20221120
The Nazca plate is an oceanic tectonic plate in the southeastern Pacific Ocean that shares both convergent and divergent boundaries, corners multiple triple junctions, contains three seamount chains, overrides four hotspots, and is responsible for the creation of the Andean orogeny. Over the last half-century, it has garnered much attention from the scientific and political community due to the hazards it poses to the populated west coast of South America. With oblique subduction underneath the South American plate, this active convergent margin is the longest subduction zone in the world, stretching 7500 km and produced the largest earthquake ever recoded on earth, the M 9.5 Valdivia earthquake.
Large seabird, very similar to Masked Booby. Long and pointy on all ends: wings, tail, and bill. Adults mostly gleaming white with black flight feathers and face; note pinkish-orange (not yellow) bill to help separate from adult Masked. Young birds darker overall with brown head contrasting with white belly and dirty brown markings on under-wings; very similar to young Masked or even adult Brown Booby. Found in the Pacific Ocean from Mexico to Peru where it feeds on fish; breeds on rocky islands, especially the Galapagos.

"The Hummingbird"
The Nazca Lines are a series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. Although some local geoglyphs resemble Paracas motifs, scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 500 B.C. and 500 A.D.
The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines or geometric shapes to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, and lizards. The designs are shallow lines made in the ground by removing the reddish pebbles and uncovering the whitish/grayish ground beneath.
