No real reason other than I was searching for something else, spotted a post about the #Paracas people, remembered our visit to #Peru, and felt like sharing the #ParacasCandelabra we saw there in 2019. Similar to the #NazcaLines but older, this #geoglyph is 181 metres high, dates from around 200BCE, and can be seen from 20km away at sea.

It is a pity (I think) that no unedited photos are shown. It would be nice to have the option to be able to drag an overlay with contrasting lines over and off the image. But still: very nice.
