Why So Many Photos?

The goal of our website is to present multiple views of each symbol for three reasons:

1) the lines are extremely difficult to photograph due to lighting conditions and the condition of the geoglyph itself,
2) to provide better context of the symbol, showing some of its surrounding area, and
3) because different views provide a better understanding of the style of design and perhaps a greater appreciation of the genius of the constructors. more science »
