Ancient buildings from the ruined city of Uxmal, Mexico.
The short building at the front is the southern construction of the Nunnery Quadrangle and displays the characteristcs of Puuc mayan architecture of the period: the detailed stone mosaic work and the relevance of Chaac, mayan god of water and rain. 3 large masks of the god are seen above the middle door.
Above the building, it can be seen the top of the Adivino (magician) pyramid that lies behind, it being one of the rarest mayan pyramids due its base being oval instead of rectangular.
This picture was taken near sunset, so the colors are not as bright as they could, but I lack the skills to improve it with software, I would really appreciate if someone could fix it. Just don't make the stones look more yellow, the color is fine. Drini 06:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
