1. Unbelievable site. I'm stopping part way through, will continue later. You don't want to rush
through this wonderful place.

So glad I got the chance to see these images. It seems so much like actually going there. Have always yearned to see more images from Machu Picchu, have even crabbed about NOT having seen too many out loud, already!

Looking forward to passing on this link, as you did.

Felt startled seeing the image of a tour bus up there! Hope they don't have a lot of those things coming and going.

Thank you for sharing a BIG site.

2. LA lawyer.comedian died in fall from the mountain above Machu Picchu:
Comic, attorney Kenneth Kahn dies in Peru fall
From wire service reports
Posted: 06/01/2009 08:05:48 AM PDT


A memorial service will held June 17 for Los Angeles defense attorney and stand-up comic Kenneth Kahn, who died this week from injuries he suffered while climbing a mountain above the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru, it was reported today. He was 66.

As a lawyer, Kahn may be best known for representing convicted spy Andrew Daulton Lee, whom Sean Penn portrayed in the 1985 move "The Falcon and the Snowman," which also Academy Award-winning actor Timothy Hutton.

According to Bob Mazza, a spokesperson for Kahn's family, the attorney filed an $11 million libel lawsuit against Orion Pictures over his portrayal in the movie, objecting to what he said were fabricated scenes depicting him urging his client to inform on drug suppliers in exchange for reduced charges.

Kenneth Kahn dies at 66; L.A. defense attorney moonlighted as a comedian
Kahn, a Santa Monica resident, had a side career as a suit-wearing, briefcase-toting stand-up comic. As a lawyer, he may be best known for representing convicted spy Andrew Daulton Lee.

Kenneth Kahn, a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who had a side career as a briefcase-toting comic in a double-breasted suit who irreverently poked fun at the legal system, has died. He was 66.

Kahn, a Santa Monica resident, died Wednesday in a hospital in Cuzco, Peru, after suffering massive internal injuries in a fall while climbing the mountain above the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu alone, according to information provided to Bob Mazza, Kahn's public relations consultant.

Kahn had retired from his full-time law practice earlier this year and decided to fulfill a dream of traveling to South America, Mazza said.

As a lawyer, Kahn may be best known for representing convicted spy Andrew Daulton Lee, whom Sean Penn portrayed in the 1985 movie "The Falcon and the Snowman."

He also represented musician Ike Turner for a probation violation and Larry Flynt when the Hustler magazine publisher was charged with desecrating an American flag after showing up in a courthouse wearing a flag as a diaper.
