Wow i wonder if we could build one of these today? wonderful up front looking up forever perspective. it looks like 300-feet or better! Good to have you back Derid.

Great perspective Derid, love those textures against that blue sky!!

Luv the angle!!!

Very good perspective, excellent work!

Perfect capture

wonderful angle and POV. awesome. I remember the first (and only) time I stood by the great pyramids in Egypt – and just stared, quite overwhelmed.

Absolutely awe inspiring.

great perspective fantastic shot

Love the angle!

Great shot derid and a fascinating structure

Nice angle Derid. Did you walk up that. I did once and it’s not fun. Whew!
Wonderful capture.

Thanks for the comments everyone. The park system no longer allows people to walk up these pyramids due to the graffiti that was being written on the stones. The interesting thing about this pyramid is that it has a completely intact smaller version inside it. It was common practice for the Mayans to add onto their structures by building on top of it. However, most of the other structures of the Mayans, ended up with the inner structure deteriorating.

Beautiful shot Derid…Well done!!!

Fascinating! Great capture :)

What a great piece Deri – looks like a stairway to heaven – great shot.

I love your angle in this shot, Deri. It makes the temple seem like it ascends indefinitely, and really enhances its majesty. Well done.

Excellent perspective.

Good capture of this Deri,I take it you enjoyed the trip south!!.

Dizzying height! Fantastic angle.

Excellent viewpoint.

Great shot …love the angle….!

Thanks to each and everyone of you for comments on this photo. To be able to see these ruins was very special.

Love the light and the textures. Isn’t it a wonderful place? I might answer this myself as I continue to wade through the backlog, but did you get to go to any of the other ruins while there? You can climb them at other sites. :-)

This was the only ruins I had time to go to. Unfortunately, they are closing off the climbing to some of the other ruins due to the same reason. It is very sad that people are defacing these beautiful ruins.

Great perspective.
Would love to visit here one day.

love this angle!!!

Love this shot! Def a place to visit v.soon!!

brilliant capture!!
