#TravelPhotography from #OnThisDay in 2019 when we set foot in #Peru for the first time. We had to go see something of the #Inca, of course, so headed to #TamboColorado, a 15th century administrative complex built during the reign of #Pachacuti who had an interesting rise to power, to say the least. It was painfully hot, very dry and exposed, but a fabulous place to visit and admire that trapezoidal #architecture favoured by the Inca.

Covering a few bases of my interests here with #TravelPhotography, #Brutalism, and #ModernArt, along with it being #StandingStoneSunday and it sort of counting too. This is the Intihuatana #sculpture in #Lima, #Peru. Intihuatana are symbolic standing stones used by the #Inca for astronomical observations, with notable examples in Machu Pichu. Photo taken in 2019.

Something for #FensterFreitag and also for my #TravelPhotography of course. This is Tambo Colorado in #Peru and it was an administrative centre for the #Inca people dating from the late fifteenth century. There's an interesting feature of the #architecture here in that all niches, windows, and doors are trapezoidal shapes. Experts think it offers protection against earthquakes, but nobody really knows why for certain.

"Recent archaeological discoveries have shed new light on the history of Peru’s #Chachapoya people. Until the 1990s most of what we knew about this pre-Columbian culture – referred to as the ‘Warriors of the Clouds’ by the #Inca – was based on third-hand stories from unreliable christian fanatic terrorists Spanish chroniclers.~
