I was there 14 years ago for the first time. The ruins of the city remain the same but the visit regulations changed dramatically. I understood they started implementing a lot restrictions some 4 years agi. The ticket is only valid within a certain time window, and it is issued under your name and you have to show your passport to before they let you in. They implemented one-way directions that would not allow you to go back to certain spots and yes, they hire a lot of guards to make sure you are not impeding the movement, etc. etc. And yes, way more crowded now than 14 years ago. Oh, well.... but it is still unique and worthwhile.
I bought and booked an early morning entry the following day in an effort to catch the sunrise but the sun didn't bother to come out until in the afternoon that day. Here is an image from the first day, a pano to include the Urubamba river to the left....Show more →
Beautiful panoramic image, Joshua. How did you manage to get it with no (or so few) people in it?

Thank you, Peter! If you look closely, especially on the far end but center area of the complex, there are still quite a few people on that image although admittedly, they were a few that I did clone out.
Joshua, I guess you have been asked this before but, what software do you use for your P & P? Your work has a very distinctive look. BTW, love that evening shot.

Mark, thank you very much! I import my files and make basic adjustments using Lightroom. Then, I import the files into Photoshop and I edit them using the plug-in Color Efex Pro of Nik Software/Google or now DXO. Back in LR, I make the final and mostly minor color adjustments and cropping, etc. and convert them into jpg for posting.

Any idea if that's the plane that depicted the Belle in the movie? As far as I knew, the original was on display at a museum in Dayton, Ohio.
I think that it's the only airworthy B-17 outside the USA. As far as I know it's not the one used for Memphis Belle but has been repainted in the same fashion.
