Bolivia - The ruins at Tiwanaku or Tiahuanaco depending on which tribe you listen to

Pre Incan civilisation which dated from 1500 BC ... several tribes joined together to use different skills to build one of the main Pre Incan civilisations.

These ruins date from 100 AD and were the culmination of all their talents

My apartment is quite a ruin hence a culmination of my talents. If I tell that to my housekeeper I probably will be as dead as the incans that erected these buildings ;-))))

Love the incan architecture series.

Thanks Brian .. I forget to rotate the lens ... so it tends to sit where it sits for a whole shoot (or more)

Thanks Peter ... amazing skills this civilisation had ... and just seemed to be lost to us ... for example the big rock a few photos back weighed 130 ton and came from over 100 km�s away !!

amazing work and I'm glad you used the polarizer - it really looks awesome.

the thing I forget most is to reset my iso. I took it off auto a couple of years ago and rarely change it from 200, but when I forget and then get some really great shots - grrrrrrrrrrrrrr too much noise
