A wonder of the world (6 down one to go)

Chichen Itza is only a few hours drive from our house and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit one if the seven wonders of the world. (After this visit I only have one more to go.) the whole group loaded up and headed inland.









On the Spring and Autumn equinoxes, in the late afternoon, the northwest corner of the pyramid casts a series of triangular shadows against the western balustrade on the north side that evokes the appearance of a serpent wriggling down the staircase. Some have suggested the effect was an intentional design by the Maya builders to represent the feathered-serpent god Kukulcan.
