| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
The Incas manipulated the flow of water through their building sites. Water was brought through channels carved in the living stone, or through conduits constructed of carved and carefully fitted stones. A water supply channel could feed a single fountain such as the Baño de la Ñusta in Ollantaytambo.
Ollantaytambo is the only spot in Peru where it is possible to find people living in the same buildings that served as homes for the nobility of the Incan Society. Some of its narrow streets still keep their water channels where very clean water flowed for the population use.
Over the town is the spot of the most important temple: the Sun Temple that was constructed with huge red porphyry (pink granite) boulders. Only some peripheral walls and the classical major wall are left. Toward the North of the temple’s entrance gate is a series of water fountains that must have performed duties of "Ceremonial Fountains" in order to worship the water element. This photo shows the "Baño de la Ñusta" ("Princess's Bath").
This photo was scanned from a picture taken with a Voiglander Camera with a Kodak 100 ASA film. It was rezised to fit to TrekEarth norms |

Boa foto, Rolf, ainda que a cor pudesse ser um pouco implementada. Boa nota também. Abraço! Miguel.
Hi Rolf
Fascinating place, nicely captured. Amazing to think of the stories this place could tell!
I presume the grass roof is restored/ maintained?
Great shot, thanks for sharing
Rew
good work. your note is really very informative.
Nice photo, Really I agree with the other person. Thanks for taking the time to explain what it is.
Very interesting place. I never been there. But I like studying this kind of stuff.
Hi Rolf,
Very nicely captured, it look like a 3d shot in some ways I like the different textures in the stone work. well done Rolf
Regards Irene
Hola. Lograste crear una buena perspectiva con los dos arcos y el paisaje de fondo. Muy buena nota. Me parece que la foto requiere incrementar un poco la nitidez y tiene un tono azuloso que yo le quitaría. Te hice on WS. Saludos, Yvonne
hi rolf,
a nice composition but the sharpness!
