This is a general area shot of the Sacsayhuaman (say "sexy woman" and you´ve got the pronunciation about right) fortress ruins above Cusco, the magnifient walls giving a good example of the capabilities of the Incans as stone workers, and providing a spot with excellent acoustics for people to play the quintessential Peruvian pipe music. If you look closely on the hill on the left, you can see a Big Jesus, the first one I´ve seen, and I´m guessing not the last. Around her they call the J man "Our Lord of Earthquakes" I think because he was nice enough to leave a few things standing the last time he shook things up.
