trekkers in the mist

I really enjoyed shooting Machu Picchu before the clouds disappeared in the afternoon.

This photo was taken on January 24, which was one of the last days it was accessible to the public before the flooding took its toll. What a strange place it is. It took us so long to get there, and even longer to leave. Can you imagine how Hiram Bingham felt in 1911 when he "discovered" it way up out there? I like to imagine that feeling. It is, I think, close to the feeling you get when you fall in love.
