Mexico, Riviera Maya

[Julio1fer]

I had been saving a few pictures from a too short vacation in the Riviera Maya area, in southern Mexico, for a first travel post here.

Nice, Julio. Unknown father and son is very poignant. Those are magnificent parrots, and Cacao and chile is nice, too. Hell, I like them all. --- James

Hello, Julio,

Good to be looking at your work again. I like your beach shots; it seems like you have always been good at photographing near the water's edge. I was in Tulum about 14 years ago; thanks for the reminder of how pretty it looked.

Thanks, James and Dennis. The father and son picture would do well on Father's day. I do have an additional few, portrait-format ones.

Flamingos doing their curved neck number





Flaming tequila. I drank it later in the patriotic Mexican shot glass, with red and green colors. I still favor vodka lemonade.

I must say that instant feedback, variable ISO and auto-white-balance are a good compensation for not having C-41 film. The Canon G12 is a swell little camera; it made me forget I had brought the XA.

Julio, These are great. It snowed here yesterday and it is very, very nice to see that somewhere there are blue skies and warm water.

Great shots. I have a trip with the girls booked there next November, can't wait!

These are amazing. Great colors!

Dang, I need a vacation......

These pics make me want to travel south!
