birthday diversion / Machu Pichu up (very) close

celebrate, ‘cuz it’s picture weekend!
It is fruitless to try to compare incomparable photos of spectacular scenes. But even if you clicked around in other galleries than Manhattan of that Russian 3-D guy (January 12, weekend diversion / Manhattan as you’ve never seen it (until this week)) you will enjoy the (more realistic) photo of another collection of human creation, this one not on an island except in the vertical sense.

This is a 16 gigapixel photo of Machu Pichu which, as this site explains, “may be the best photograph of Machu Pichu ever posted on the internet.” Have you been there? We were there a year and a half ago, and I agree. I also think it is even more impressive in person than you can imagine from any photos, but that is another story.
