Description
Captured in Tikal (Guatemala) from the top of Templo IV, one of the Maya temples hidden in the jungle. The sunrise tour started at 4:00 am with a 30 min hike through the pitch dark jungle, then climbing the Templo IV, all the time with the accompaniment of the tremendous roars of the Howler Monkeys. The sunrise was not to hazy, what happens only a few times in the year.
Tikal is one of the largest archaeological sites and urban centres of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Central America. It was the capital of a conquest state that became one of the most powerful kingdoms of the ancient Maya from 4th century BC until ca. 200 to 900 AD.
Camera Nikon D600, 1/125 sec at f/5.6, focal length 28 mm, ISO 160, lens Nikkor 28-300mm.
