GTO Alley at Night

Grabbed this shot of the alley we used to walk back to our hotel in Guanajuato every day. That PC carrying JCO. We were coming back from a callejoneada which is an evening stroll through the labyrinth of alleys (callejons) guided by a large group of costumed musicians singing, dancing, and telling stories. A must do when in GTO.

One more of Plaza de los Angeles...my favorite...tranquil.

Pre-dawn at Plaza de los Angeles






Plaza de los Angeles in Guanajuato Mexico captured pre-dawn using my point-and-shoot on a pocket tripod (UltrapodII). Mexico is so colorful, isn't it?

Some more pictures from the El Charco Ingenio Jardin Botanico in San Miguel...This time in color.

Here are some interesting shapes and lines from plants in El Charco del Ingenio Jardin Botanico in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. I really recommend a half a day exploring this park.

Vacation splash

This photo was taken at a beach in Mexico using my Lumix DMC-FX01 point-and-shoot camera (I'd feel very nervous holding my Nikon D70 this close to moving[and flying] salt water). Another great reason to have your point-and-shoot around...you can stick in places you couldn't (or wouldn't) stick your DSLR. I took this photo for this month's photo assignment for a photo club: "vacation". I think the beach setting and the care-free feel to this photo meets that assignment's theme.

Party's over

This was taken at my mom and brother's birthday party after the pinata was broken, and all the candy was collected by the only child at the party...JCO. I like the mood of the picture. His expression kind of looks like he is thinking something like "..is that it? Is it over?"
