In June 2007, Mike Torrey, an accomplished architectural photographer from San Diego, received an offer that would fulfill a life-long dream: to travel to Machu Picchu. For three days (and four more during a subsequent trip), Torrey processed this life-affecting experience in the only way he knew-through the lens of his camera. The result is a collection of breathtaking photographs that capture at once the wonder and the universal and timeless significance of this rare and inspiring place. These photographs appraise the artistry of the man-made celebrating the natural, as well as the mystery of how, why and when this magical place was constructed. This 144 page book includes more than 100 full color photographs.
