The Crop Circles of Moray

Originally uploaded by Suffering the Benz.

This is an HDR shot of Moray, a series of circular terraces that archeologists believe the Incans used as some sort of agricultural test center, growing various crops in the microclimates that each terrace provides. This is an unrestored site. There is another site here that has been restored and gives a clearer idea of what it must have looked like in Incan times. Those are the Urubamba and Vilcabamba mountain ranges in the distance. We arrived early and had the place to ourselves, providing some of the most spectacular vistas of the trip.

Sunset over Miraflores

This is an HDR shot of the Pacific Ocean shot from the Miraflores section of Lima around sunset. This was taken from LarcoMar, a mall built into the cliffs above the ocean. It’s not only a great mall, but they also have a great cigar store packed with Cubans.

Corn Fields and a Lake

This is an HDR photo of a lake where we ate lunch one afternoon in Peru. Corn fields ran down to the water’s edge, and the mountains loomed in the distance. Toss in brooding skies and you have a pretty phenomenal HDR image.
