Orange Sunset Light on Machu Picchu Terraces

by Eve Castro

Warm orange light spills across ancient stone terraces carved into the steep Andean slope near Cusco. Raindrops fall in a brief shower, turning the mossy steps into dark, wet mirrors. The reflection of the sky doubles the golden hue on the slick surfaces, creating a symmetrical view of the geologic grandeur. Lush green ferns rest on the stone edges, their leaves glistening with moisture. Patches of white cloud drift below the terraces, merging with the wet ground. A shallow pool at the terrace base holds a perfect inverted image of the stone wall and the fading sky above.
