weekly photo challenge: angular
As with most ancient civilisation architecture, Machu Picchu looks cleverly planned and constructed. And there are plenty of angles here!
When we see these ancient structures, we can’t help but wonder of the skills and talents of the communities and also the precision at which they built these places. It always fascinates us!

Have an amazing weekend, everyone!

November 26, 2014 at 12:14 pm
Peru is incredible and one that we fell in love with so easily! 🙂 An excuse to go back to Peru, maybe?

How goes the travels? You are still one of my favorite blogs and I’m sad I am not able to keep up with every post. I’ve got one foot in the working world and one foot in the travel lifestyle. Trying to find balance. Miss you.

Hi Jess. We are back to reality too now after our 4 months. Trying to get back into the swing of things but with Xmas and a whole bunch of other things, we feel just as hectic as you do, no doubt 🙂
Good to hear from you!

I always find it amazing how talented these ancient civilizations were. They somehow had great mathematical abilities. Wonder if this angular town is a mirror image of anything in the sky? Just my curious mind.
November 24, 2014 at 9:06 pm
Yes!!! Similar things always cross our minds too – the ancient civilisations really utilised the night sky as a guide … So you just never know 🙂
November 24, 2014 at 2:25 pm
You picked a good one as Machu Picchu is full of angles.
November 24, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Thanks 🙂 We love this place!!!

I look forward to your posts… it’s fun to wonder where in the world you will take us each week! This is the perfect place for “angular.” ❤
November 23, 2014 at 10:53 pm
Thanks JANE – you are too kind 🙂 A comment that has made our evening – we get excited hearing that you look forward to our posts! Won’t be able to stop us smiling!

I like your choice of this place for the challenge. It does have a lot of angles. It’s also one of the most inspiring places I’ve ever been to. I was very lucky to visit Macchu Picchu while I was in school. I’ll never forget the feelings it inspired in me. The experience was really intense. I’ll never forget it. Thanks for reminding me. 🙂

The seed of the travel bug can be planted so easily so maybe that is when your wanderlust kicked in???
Thanks for sharing your memories and experiences with us! We are glad to have conjured fond memories for you!

We would love to go there too one day. The list keeps on growing…
Great photo.
November 23, 2014 at 10:36 am
Thanks…. that “list” is eternal for an eternal traveller, right?? 😉
November 23, 2014 at 11:30 am
Exactly!

Machu Picchu, and other ancient cities of Inca and Mayan design, are excellent subjects for angular. Good job. Machu Picchu, BTW, is one of Peggy’s all time favorite sites. I have yet to be there. –Curt

Ooooooh- well, you must change that! You must visit Machu Picchu to see if you are in agreement with Peggy 🙂
We LOVE ancient history a lot!
November 23, 2014 at 1:48 pm
Suspect I will be… 🙂
November 23, 2014 at 12:22 am
I’d love to see it someday, but in the meantime I can enjoy it through your photo.

Thanks Janet 🙂 We hope you get to it one day, it’s worth witnessing with your own eyes!
November 22, 2014 at 11:15 pm
love the precision too – nice take on the wpc 🙂 ❤
November 23, 2014 at 10:49 am
Thanks Yvette 🙂 The precision and designs always astound us!

Once again a wonderful picture. I think I am too infected with The show ‘ancient aliens’ as this pictures reminded me immediately on those crazy alien conspiricies (is it even written likes this?)
November 23, 2014 at 10:56 am
Ahhh…. yes, it does make you wonder if there was outer space influence in building such structures 🙂 Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
November 22, 2014 at 4:30 pm
Brilliant shot for this week’s challenge. It also fascinates me that Macchu Pichu was built with hands and manual labour. The road up to this town looks so steep. Back in those days everyone must have strong legs.
Hope your weekend’s going well, Monkeys. Enjoy and relax
November 23, 2014 at 10:57 am
Yes!! The strength of the people to have used bare hands and backs to move and carry and lift. Not only are the sides steep, but the size of the rocks makes us feel so small and insignificant!
November 22, 2014 at 3:02 pm
I will be going in three weeks!!!! my beloved country Peru
November 23, 2014 at 10:58 am
Ahhhh, how wonderful! We have such fond memories of Peru. We absolutely love it there and a lot if it, is due to the incredible people 🙂 Can’t wait to see what you have to share of your time back home on your blog!
November 22, 2014 at 2:20 pm
great heritage,
November 23, 2014 at 10:59 am
Amazing history… we love it!
November 22, 2014 at 1:37 pm
One of your bucket list items, UNESCO world heritage sites 😀 Nice picture for the theme 🙂
November 23, 2014 at 10:59 am
Yes, it certainly was one of our bucket list items 😉 Thanks for noticing!! Hope you are having an amazing weekend 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 12:08 pm
Machu Picchu has been on my bucket list for way too long. Love the photo and perfect fit for this weeks challenge!
November 23, 2014 at 11:01 am
Thanks Jill! It was on ours for ages too and when we were there, we were literally pinching ourselves to see if it was real. When we stood at that viewpoint and was covered in clouds, we were a little disappointed. Then like a magical unveiling, the clouds parted and we were just graced with a view we could ONLY imagine 🙂
We hope you do get to visit it one day!
November 22, 2014 at 11:39 am
Nice! We were just there 12 days ago. Spectacular! And certainly full of angles! 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 11:41 am
Thanks 🙂
Isn’t it such a cool place to see with your own eyes??!!
November 22, 2014 at 1:03 pm
Absolutely! 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 9:59 am
We are headed here in June 2015. Delighted to see this lovely ‘angular’ photo. 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 10:04 am
Oooh – lucky you! Have an incredible time! We will be keen to see your posts on it 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 9:44 am
Now that is on my bucket list! 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 9:51 am
Hope you get there one day! It’s even more spectacular in reality 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 9:14 am
Yep! Certainly angular! 🙂
November 22, 2014 at 9:15 am
We were stuck on this challenge for a bit but then it dawned on us 🙂 Hope you have been well!
