Hey Panther this a great shot, wonder how long it took them to create
these stone structures.

Really nice! I've never had the opportunity to see such things in real life so of course photos are most welcome.

I think what I like most about your IR version is that it looks so much like snow on the ground, especially the little bushes... and of course snow is the least likely thing to grace these stones.

Howdy Skippy,

Thanks!! I can't even imagine the manpower and time, I am always in awe of the Mayan's. We have visited 10 or more of their sites over the years.

Thanks very much for the very kind reply.

There are a lot of very nice sites in Mexico, well worth a visit, one day you'll make it there.

I checked out your galleries, very nicely done, you have a rare talent to see the shot.

Howdy Awais,

I checked out the link, very well done. Some of them would be really great in B&W, might be worth looking into doing a conversion on some of them. I am always fascinated with History, seeing things like that make me feel like a kid just wanting to take it all in.

Kindest Regards
