With the wind chill about 11° in Central Park this morning, my thoughts returned to Christmas in Peru. Here's a Sparkling Violetear we watched near Ollantaytambo. Sparkling Violetear is such a wonderful name, don't you think? 💙💚💙 #Hummingbirds #Ollantaytambo #Peru

You must pass through the #market, geared towards tourists, to get to the entrance to the #Ollantaytambo ruins. Picking up a few souvenirs is a great way to support the locals.

The view of the town and valley is stunning. We only spent about an hour here; you could easily spend the day exploring the ruins and the town.

The large structure built into the side of the mountain was used to store crops. The higher altitude and the way they were constructed allowed for maximum air flow to keep the crops fresh.

Window placement in #Incan #Architecture was always purposeful. In many cases, they were aligned with either the sun or various constellations.

When climbing to the top of the #ruins at #Ollantaytambo it is important to be mindful of the altitude. The town, even being located in a valley, is 9,160 feet above sea level.

#TempleHill, also called the Fortress, was used primarily as a religious site. It consists of farming terraces, crop storage buildings and the Temple of the Sun, which was never completed.

A woman's back is turned to the camera as she looks up a stone paved street. She is dressed in traditional Peruvian clothing and has a sack strapped to her back and there is a textile back resting on a step beside her. She is outside a stone house with a weathered wooden doorway. The picture was taken in the village of Ollantaytambo, Peru. While wandering the streets there, I noticed a woman anxiously waiting near the doorway of her home. I hoped to take a portraiture of her but just before I could click the shutter she stood and gazed up the street. I had to leave and don't know how her story ended.

Ollantaytambo
This ancient Incan site has 50-ton stones transported across a river and up a mountain—with no wheels or modern tools! Some suggest the Incas used a lost plant-based acid to soften stone, while others believe they had advanced engineering techniques.
