Lines in the Sand

Photograph by Cezary Filew , National Geographic Your Shot

The Pan American Highway cuts a modern path past some of Peru s ancient Nasca lines, here captured from a Cessna by Your Shot member Cezary Filew. For Filew, the mysterious lines and figures called geoglyphs have been a draw since childhood. I am scared of flying, but this time ... I had to overcome it to see what I came for.
