The Lost City (and pictures) of Machu Picchu

When we arrived at the Sun Gate (after having started on the trail long before dark so we could be the first), we were somewhat disappointed because all of Machu Picchu was clouded over (it is a cloud forest) and we thought for sure that we wouldn't have any good pictures. Shortly thereafter, this is what we found....
These are the only surviving pictures from our camera. The day we got home, we were in a hurry to leave for another community to do research, so I just sent these two photos to some family to tide them over until we got back. Little did I know that a week later when we returned, we'd be robbed of both the computer and camera and that these photos would forever stand alone. We have since received some photos from friends who did the trail with us, but mostly group shots or photos in which we were accidentally present. More to come...
