These were scanned from 13 year old negatives. The originals were taken with an Olympus Trip (35mm film camera), not one of my Nikons - I was on vacation. The composite image of the Avenue of the Dead (2nd image below) is dodgy because the negatives were stored under different although equally poor conditions

Click to enlarge: The Avenue of the Dead from due south (left) to due north (right). These are a compilation of 35mm images taken from the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. The Citadel and Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent is on the far left. It's not easy to make out, but look closely and you'll see a bunch of flat slabs. Scrolling along the Avenue, The Pyramid of the Moon is on the far right of the composite image. If you look above the man's head on the far right, the vertical columns are the Temple of the Jaguar. Around the centre front of the image is the parking lot complete with tour bus. I know the whole things looks a bit bland, mostly just the bases of pyramids, but much of the city has been buried and the rest, burned. Essentially you are seeing the skeletal remains, although this composite begins to show the scale - this is only the north section of the city. The image used on the cover of Stargate SG-1: City if the Gods is what one of the smaller pyramids would have looked like with the wooden temple on the apex.

 

Pyramid of the Moon

Pyramid of the Sun - yes, it's a whole lot bigger. The steps at the top are as wide as these ones at the bottom
