Zama – Sun Rising

Another shot from my trip to the Mayan Riviera. This is part of a walled Mayan religious compound in the part of Mexico now called Tulum. This place was really amazing. The buildings standing for several thousand years have weathered the constant abuse of being directly on a stormy coastline.

A special building on the compound is designed with a window opening that lets the light through during sunrise on the summer solstice. This year, nearly 20,000 Mayans attended the spectacle. Now that would have been something to see.
