This is the Principle Temple. This was a very interesting structure for a few reasons:
1 - A number of the stones are very massive compared to most of the stonework. Are they carved from the underlying rock, or moved?
2 - You can see in the back wall a large crack has formed, indicating something has shifted a large amount. Is this one of the only visible signs of the slight sliding that some Japanese Scientists reported on in 2000?
3 - The large rock on the bottom right has a lip on it, similar to ones I was at Ollantaytambo. What was this lip used for?
Otherwise, it's a nice bright picture of an interesting structure.
