After the Cross Group

Looking back at the Temple of the Foliated Cross as we descended
to the main grounds

we crossed the stream which supplied water for the site,

passing by what had been the original entrance to the Palace complex.

We looked back, as we went, at the Temple of the Inscriptions,
the Palace tower and Palace steps.

Center left, we walked by a "cave in" revealing the structure of
the walled tunnel engineered to direct the steam under the Palace,
supplying running water to the structure.

This side of the Palace had many stucco reliefs, although badly
damaged by looters and weather, which still represent the
grandeur of the complex. The last picture of the collage is where
the stream emerges from the tunnel descending the slopes below.
