I flew on the first KC-135 to have rollers installed for moving cargo. We flew from Altus AFB, OK to Cairo West, Egypt. Upon landing the plane broke so badly, the crew had a week to go anywhere we wanted. It was awesome!
The day was perfect. I like the cloud shadows in this photo.
Pyramid Peak is a mountain in the Sierra Nevada mountain range within the subrange of the Crystal Mountains (California), to the west of Lake Tahoe. It is the highest point in the Desolation Wilderness in El Dorado County, California. An elevation gain of almost 4,100 ft. (1,250 m) makes the mountain's most popular route, Rocky Canyon, a very arduous climb.
Elevation: 9,983 ft (3,043 m)
Location: California, USA
Range: Sierra Nevada
Prominence: 2,583 ft (787 m)

Mud-brick pyramid in Tucume, Peru.
Archeological excavation sites are covered with roof.
Tucume, built in 1100 AD, is one of three pyramid cities. The site was an important population center for the region as the final capital of the Sican culture. It was later incorporated into the Chimu realm around 1350 AD and then finally absorbed by the Inca Empire a hundred years later.
Unlike Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, these pyramids were built of adobe bricks, which have been deteriorated over 1000 years. Just looking at a glance, these seem small hills. Looking more closely, individual bricks are visible.
