Standing across the sacred valley and looking up to central marker stone of this sacred site, the top of Intihuatana (the Inkan name which means, ‘hitching post to the sun’) is visible. This perspective shows the terraces which capture sound and create an astounding amphitheater. Although the distance is easily that of across a football field, it is easy to hear every word said in casual conversation across the distance.

A dramatic view of the sacred valley and the temple mountain Huayna Picchu comes to life 'en plein aire' with the setting sun and brush strokes of visionary artist Susan Tower. "It is hard to describe how large this site is.  While painting this, I was sitting on an agricultural terrace looking over the Machu Piccu valley as the clouds rolled past the mountain peaks.  Breathtaking!"

This area is thought to have been the living quarters for the people of Machu Picchu. This fine art painting was done on-site and includes visionary symbols of healing and connection. The crescent moon on the forested mountain is an ancient goddess reference of the continual cycles of the Earth and of Life itself. The forested mountainside reflects this shape and one could wonder if it once was far more pronounced. The Tan Ran reiki symbol painted on middle left means: 'Seeking Wholeness in Heart'.

A herd of llamas meandered through the scene as visionary artist Susan Tower painted en plein air (on-site). The sacred symbol above the temple represents a trinity of awareness: the higher-self, the conscious mind, and the sub-conscious. Notice the trapezoid shape of the windows: this shape is mirrored throughout the buildings’ walls and in many other ancient stone structures in the region. It is thought to be shock absorbing to the frequent earthquakes – indeed, very little damage has occurred to these sacred sites despite the unknown amount of centuries through which they have stood.

This carved stone at Machu Piccu allows a cast shadow to complete the sacred symbol. It depicts different levels of reality, including the upper world (the higher self), the middle world (consciousness) and the lower world (unconsciousness). The tan ran reiki symbol painted into the cast shadow is ‘Tah Humm’ which vibrates to a new physical reality. Visionary artist Susan Tower painted this temple stone en plein air (on-site).

This marker is known to be the spiritual cornerstone of Machu Picchu. As both a solstice and equinox marker, its shadow alignments reveal volumes of astronomical data. This plein air painting (done onsite) illustrates the ancient astronomical observatory whose Inkan name of Intihuatana means ‘hitching post of the sun’. This is because at the exact equinox, both spring and fall, the sun stands almost directly above the pillar creating no shadow at all, and for a moment is ‘tied’ to the rock.

Susan has had a compelling desire to paint the megalithic stone sites around the world for quite some time. Her spiritual guidance describes the benefit to humanity as such: 

These ancient sites were built by cultures more advanced than our 'modern' view can conceive. Our current scientists cannot explain how such 'primitive' people could have constructed so expertly with stones. We may never know how or why, however, it is apparent that these ancient peoples had technology that was in harmony with the Earth. These sites are physical links to that possibility of technology and lifestyle in harmony with Nature.
