Photo of the Day (2.26.09)
I've always wanted to visit Machu Piccu in Peru. This might be the best shot I've seen yet of the area, taken by Magnusvk. He even gives a few tips on capturing such a sight:
Go in the rainy season, get up as early as you can, take the first bus up and just ignore the rain. That's the only way to have Machu Picchu more or less for yourself for a couple of minutes. The morning mood, as you can see, is beautiful and really does reward all hardship.
I think it's only fair to award the Photo of the Day to Magnusvk for his effort.

Great Pic!! Machu Picchu is awesome place. Ever since I was there 4 years ago I'm itching to go back.

Not to be a snob, but the real way to see it is from the four day hike...I believe you can get to the Sunshine Gate an hour before the first bus leaves that way.
