Fish Swim Above Ancient Terraces at Dawn

by Cynthia Huff

Low morning light strikes the horizon haze, illuminating the gray stone terraces of Machu Picchu rising above a sea of ground fog. The cool season air holds the mist in low valleys, while layers of Andean peaks recede into the distance. At head height, a school of vibrant tropical fish swims through the air, their scales reflecting the pale sun. The stone surfaces show wind-carved textures and sharp edges, against the fluid motion of the aquatic creatures floating among the ruins. Shadows fall across the steps, defining the depth of the landscape. A silver fish fin breaks the surface of a floating water droplet suspended in mid-air.
