Description

An ancient stone pyramid temple stands at the far end of a narrow dirt path flanked by massive, moss-covered stone walls. The steep architectural structure rises dramatically under a moody, dark blue twilight sky with faint traces of light near the horizon. Dense green trees and foliage flank the left side of the composition, adding organic contrast to the heavy masonry. The low-key lighting emphasizes the deep shadows and imposing scale of the historic ruins. Captured in San Francisco by photographer Matthew Turley.
