The View

Standing on a random mound in the Sacred Valley, I took a few photos to try and make this panoramic shot. I mention the randomness, because this is the kind of view and beauty that is around every corner in this valley, which runs from a few miles out of Cusco northwest towards Machu Picchu. The Incas (1197 A.D. to 1592) believed that the Urubamba river flowing through the valley reflects the Milky Way. (p.s. These are just the foothills of the Andes!)

Hi Amy,
I'm really enjoying keeping up with you through your posts. That is a gorgeous picture!
You might like to try a program called Autostitch. You can download it free over the internet, and it puts together panoramic photos in less than a minute.
