Re: Nazca hummingbird

The response to your circles chained together might possibly be a very sad and infuriating one.
I would go so far as to say some enthusiastic young Peruvians got together with powerful cars and bikes and do-nutted all over the place. You can see a little south of your marker that someone has tried to create an insect of some sort, and the double tyre lines to make the wings are clearly visible, even with the low resolution.
Whilst this area is of international interest, it is open desert and obviously the government of Peru doesn't see the need to protect it properly. I guess it is only a matter of time before they stop trying to create their own symbols and decide to "add" to the existing symbols. This would indeed be a truly great loss.
