Category Archives: Mexico There was a bright full moon over the beach in Playacar, Mexico and I just had to stop and take some photos. The colors of the water are constantly shifting between different hues of blue & aqua. I played around with a long exposure not sure of what the result would be. I was hoping […] 
 Centuries before the Aztecs ruled Mexico at Tenochtitlan, there was another ancient city that rose up with temples and pyramids that extended to the stars. The grand city of Teotihuacán emerged on the outskirts of what is now Mexico City beginning in the 1st Century AD and reaching its peak in the 7th Century AD. […]
 When you visit Oaxaca, you will find a city brimming with activity. On a typical Sunday evening, the locals are out with their families, street vendors are out selling their wares, and tourists walk around dazed from all the sights, sounds and aromas. Most of the activity is centered around this old section of the city. […]
 I was hanging out in the spectacular beaches of Akumal in the Mayan Riviera recently when these two lovely Argentinian girls passed by. I was busy taking photos of the clear blue Carribean waters and they were trying to take photos of themselves with their phone. Normally, people see me with all the camera gear […]

 Up in Chapultepec hill near downtown Mexico City is the famous Chapultepec Castle. Over the years, it’s been used as a the presidential palace, a military academy, and even as an observatory. These days, it’s the National Museum of History with beautiful paintings, gardens and many historical artifacts from Mexico’s long history. After wandering around […]
 When people think of traveling to Mexico, they probably consider the warm sandy beaches of the Mayan Riviera or the historical landscape of Oaxaca before they consider Mexico City. I like those places too, but I really find this city fascinating. It is a megalópolis of 20+ million people and there are so many things to do […]
 I don’t know about you, but I am a beach person. And my favorite beaches are in the Riviera Maya area of Mexico. And my favorite beach there is in the town of Tulum. Most people are aware of Tulum for its famous Mayan ruins, but once they visit they keep coming back for the […]
