en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chichen_Itza
One of the 7 new wonders of the world.
Dominating the center of Chichén is the Temple of Kukulkan (the Maya name for Quetzalcoatl), often referred to as "El Castillo" (the castle). This step pyramid has a ground plan of square terraces with stairways up each of the 4 sides to the temple on top. On the Spring and Fall equinox, at the rising and setting of the sun, the corner of the structure casts a shadow in the shape of a plumed serpent - Kukulcan, or Quetzalcoatl - along the side of the North staircase. On these two days, the shadows from the corner tiers slither down the northern side of the pyramid with the sun's movement.

Hello
My name is Carolina Mora. I like photography and my mayor is on Communication Sciences. I´m working in a very interesting project with my brother: We are making a travel agency by internet. This agency promotes México and its magic places.
Our web site is going to invite travelers and tourist to share their experience with other navigators, they can also download their pictures and their adventures.
I have seen your photographs and I think they are amazing! I would like to ask for your permission to use this image in particular on my web campaign.
Thanks a lot and Best Regards!
