1961 Peru Cusco. The foundations of Muyuq Marka at the top level of Sacsayhuaman, the huge Inca construction overlooking Cusco. Muyuq Marka included 3 arge towers and a grand building or temple. The Spanish conquerors used many of the bricks for building in Cusco city. The circular construction is 23 metres across and forms the basis of the central tower. In 1961 the site was newly excavated.

Camera Leica lll F with a collapsible Leitz f 5 cm 1:3.5 lens. Film Panatomic X at F5.6 - 1/100 second. The camera was on loan and my film was cut from bulk rolls and loaded in a re-loadable Leica cassette. It was a convenient low cost way of carrying film but not ideal. The film had to be loaded in the dark and static electricity always attracted dust which shows on the negative. Hand-processed in Lima using May and Baker Promicrol at normal dilution.
