Tempo del Agua Ruins
The ruins of this temple are around the town of Ollantaytambo.  Its focus is on water, which is apparent from its name.

One of the things that struck me about this image was the line of the roof of what I think were supply sheds back in ancient times.  You could walk up there today, but this was at the end of a long day up at altitude, so we all felt just fine viewing them from a distance!

I like this image because the growing plants really seem to accentuate the steepness of the hills/mountains in which the town sits.
Window and Water at Tempo del Agua
Here’s an image I really like of a view thru a window in some ruins at our level.  You can see another building and more mountains thru it, and if you check below the window, you can see a small opening in the rock where water ran.  This was inside of the remains of a structure, so I’m imagining this was the ancient Inca’s version of a building with running water!
Enjoy!
