The Mayan Jungle


The Mayan Jungle
HOND07D-93
July 14, 2007

The lush jungles of Honduras, as seen from the top of the astronomy tower in the ruins of Copan.  The jungle exists as a carpet across the landscape, an unending forest that is hard to appreciate, its vastness and greenery that are shades we don't see much in the United States.  While this is a straightforward picture, what strikes me is the manicured lawn that lays in front of the ruins.  Intended to keep the area nice for tourists, the straight lines of the mower are in sharp contrast with the wild, untamed jungle that exists in all directions beyond the ruins.  Enjoy.
