Waterfall Rush
Continuing along the Loop we took the turn-off for Artist point which has the classic view of the Lower Falls(308ft) and the Canyon. Even though I’ve been there before the view is still breathtaking to behold. Seeing that it was still in the...

Yellowstone Morning
Leaving Cody early this morning we drove to the East entrance of Yellowstone National Park. We arrived at the park just before the sunrise and stopped a few times along the road. When we approached Yellowstone Lake the steam vents at Steamboat...

My friend, Frank, and I decided to go on a little road trip for this weekend. He recently graduated from the Architecture graduate school in Albuquerque and had a little bit of down time. The last time we met up was at his wedding the prior...

Houston to New Orleans
Arriving at Houston in the early morning hours we found ourselves needing a way to get to New Orleans. We figured that a flight from New Orleans to Denver, scheduled for later that afternoon, was the best chance for all of us to get on. So with...

Train to Ollan
Leaving our hostel a little before 5:00am we soon arrived at the station to catch our 5:30 train back to Ollantaytambo. Being tired from the lack of sleep and the day before in Machu, most of us tried to get some sleep on the train. But after the...

Returning from Machu Picchu we headed back to our hostel in Aguas Caliente. Seeing that we arrived in total darkness the night before it was nice to get a glimpse of the town in daylight. The last two pictures were taken in front of the hostel we...

Last of Machu

Last of Machu
Before leaving the park we explored the Temple of the Sun and other adjacent areas. The masonry around the Temple was more or less perfect with clean lines and tight joints. Its amazing to think how much effort went into making this place. Near...

Machu Ruins II
As we explored further up the mountain the classic view of Machu Picchu soon came apparent. As we neared the House of the Guardians we noticed a few Llamas grazing on the adjacent terraces. And as luck would have it I was able to snap a few shots...
