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 this sacred site despite the unknown amount earthquakes through the centuries since it was built.
