Moray

This is an archaeological site in Peru in the Sacred Valley region near Cuzco.  The elevation is around 11,500 feet at this site, so it wasn’t the highest point during our trip.  This unusual Inca ruins, consists of several enormous terraced circular depressions.  The largest one of the group is approximately 100 feet deep.  Today, it is unclear what the purpose of this site was built by the Incas.  The theory today is that the Incas used this to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops.  

Regardless of the original purpose, the site makes for a very unique location and one I am glad we had a chance to see.  The picture won’t come close to really being there in person, but I hope you enjoy it.

Moray Eel

I try to get some scuba diving in on every trip we take.  It doesn’t always work out, but it happens often.  Today’s picture is from our recent cruise.  I got a chance to complete 4 dives and captured this beautiful moray eel near Costa Maya Mexico.  He was a friendly little guy….okay, he wasn’t so little (maybe 4 feet long), but he was friendly.  He came out of his hole to present himself to me.  I sat there watching him from about 2 feet away for a few minutes.  It was a great experience. 

Anyway, I hope you like him.
