STK-ID 45797

Sequence on Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza showing MS/ECU of wall carvings of warriors with headdresses(?); Castillo at twilight (the Castillo is a pyramid structure dominating skyline without partial sinking sun on horizon (cataloger's choice shot with sun. The Castillo is also known as Temple of Kukulcan or Feathered Serpent). Nice shot of head of serpent at base of Castillo (crowds coming to witness at spring and autumn equinoxes a beam of light following stairway and ending on one of the two serpent heads at base of Castillo). Excellent PANs from column(?) to misty intact ruin below (mystical mood). Several PANs from column to rich jungle below, round top of decaying structure in far distant background. MLS of white crane(?) sitting atop brick ruins, flying away. LA MS of Caracol, lens flare visible (Caracol is a Terminal Classic building that may have served as observatory for astronomical calculations). POV walking through dark circular interior of Caracol(?). Shots of more ruins surrounded by encroaching jungle. MCU/PAN of wall with distinct carvings of symbols resembling cross and upside-down letter "h", more patterns and designs on building exteriors. (29557)
