yeah man soon ;)Perhaps the single field in which the builders allowed fancy to supercede function is in their playful handling of flowing water. Sparkling streams cascade from stone spouts, sometimes decorated with carved designs, into joyfully splashing basins, then flow through quite unnecessarily complex stone channels to pour into the next fountain (or bath, as the fountains are sometimes referred to) and so on from fountain to fountain, one after the other. The Inca employed the sight and sound of water as an element of architectural design and evidently enjoyed demonstrating their mastery over the course of this essential fluid. www.rutahsa.com/incaarch.html

......This beautiful ruin of agriculture terraces and channels carved in stone is located around 20 km south of the city. It seems that Tipon was part of the country property of the Inca Yawar Waka and, at the same time, a place for religious worship and agricultural experiment. Of special interest here is the harmony achieved in channelling the water through fine stone structures, including aqueducts, some of them underground, and with waterfalls conduits.
