I see a rope fence around the temple...do they prohibit climbing it now? I remember my wife and I climbed to the top with our kids several years ago. Going up wasn't too bad but it was frightening coming down because it is very steep.
Thanks Joel!

My understanding is that they stopped allowing people to climb El Castillo about 6 years ago after someone fell and, unfortunatley, died. The rope fences were around everything, so I suspect there is also an element of preservation as well. I hear that you can still climb to the top at Coba. I may try that the next time I go down.

It must have been a nice experience.
It was a good experience. Just getting out of the cold was a good experience .

I spent so much time with the different colors, I missed the CA. Below I've decreased the clarity by 15, turned on the CA reduction in LR4 and a few other minor adjustments.
