The photograph of Susan Tower painting plein air (on-site) at Machu Piccu is while she is creating this piece. Standing across the sacred valley and looking up to central marker stone of the sacred site, the top of Intihuatana (the Inkan name which means, ‘hitching post to the sun’.) is visible. This perspective shows the terraces that 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 that distance.
