Wow! If there was ever an appropriate time to use “bloody” and “beautiful” in the same sentence, this is it — what a bloody beautiful photo.

This photo was taken by Thomas O’Brien in Machu Picchu, Peru from the Putucusi Mountain right across the Urubamba River Valley. You can grab physical prints of this stunning photo from here, if you need them.
