Becán ist eine archäologische Stätte und vormaliges Zentrum der Maya der präklassischen Periode. Sie befindet sich im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Campeche, im Zentrum der Yucatán-Halbinsel, 150 Kilometer nördlich von Tikal.
Der Name Becán bedeutet in Mayathan „Schlucht, von Wasser geformt“ und bezieht sich auf den umgebenden Graben, der einzigartig für eine Maya-Stätte ist. Becán, das im Rio-Bec-Stil erbaut ist, war ein regionales religiöses und politisches Zentrum der Maya. Die ersten Nachweise menschlicher Besiedelung gehen ins Jahr 600 v. Chr. zurück. Die Blütezeit der Stadt war jedoch in den Jahren 600–1000, bewohnt war die Stadt bis etwa 1250.
Die Stadt ist von einem Graben umgeben, der an sieben Stellen unterbrochen war. Er war damit kein wirksames militärisches Hindernis, oder wurde nicht als solches fertiggestellt.
Becan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Becan is located near the center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day Mexican state of Campeche,Archaeological evidence shows that Becan was occupied in the middle Preclassic Maya period, about 550 BCE, and grew to a major population and ceremonial center a few hundred years later in the late Preclassic.
One building is clear or rather in focus. I enjoy doing these and the hard part is which way to go. Which object to unlayer.

I’ve been in a bad place recently so I needed to get in a good place. I’m not growing old gracefully, like many in their mid sixties I’m on the wrong end of the average in developing common age related problems and rather than getting on with it I’m letting them effect my life. My anxieties are stressing me out and zapping my confidence. Definitely the pandemic has exacerbated my black moods, but again this is just a case of me allowing it too. So I needed to make an effort to get in my happy place, and there is nothing better for me to get out there and climb a mountain. So yesterday I actioned a plan I had bubbling in my head for a week to get to the lakes and do a gut busting climb up to Dalehead from Rosthwaite, and if I’m going to get up a 4am and drive for two and a half hours I might as well throw in some early morning photography. Believe it or not considering my many trips to the lakes I can’t remember ever standing on the shores of Derwent water. The reasons for that is that I usually head upwards, secondly Borrowdale is very touristy with space and loneliness is what I crave, however at 6:30am in the morning went I’m park the car I have that in spades. So here I am on the shores of Derwentwater the first thing I do is take the photo millions of other have done before me, but there is a reason for that, don’t you think? After a happy hour catching the morning I head off to Rosthwaite to really throttle back that relief value. Once the boots are on, the packs on my back and I walk away from the car everything is forgotten and my only thoughts go towards the next 2500 feet of ascent and did I say I was smiling.
created with a card packaging box, , photographed and used for another design, this piece lived for about ten minutes!

Relief is always closer than we sometimes think...in the form of a new day. Night's separation of our days allows the world to catch its breath and to catch up. Seemingly impossible situations and overwhelming decisions crumble to digestible perspectives upon a decent night's sleep.

Later in the day (taken from the same place as the recent shot I posted), when the sun had moved around, the relief of the cliff face of the island made itself known.

It is the oldest relief of this type known north of the Alps, dated to the high medieval period (likely the 12th century)." [Wikipedia]

Views to Mount Esja (914 m high), who shows her true textures during sunrise in winter.
The mountain was probably created during the early stages of the ice age, about 2,5 million years ago, and stacked up with alternating strata of basaltic lavas and hyaloclastites, which have been metamorphosed and show a variety of colours.
