On my second trip to Mérida, I was all about architectural details. It made for a fun change of pace in a city filled with color and old world colonial charm. The light that day was also exceptional as you can tell by the vivid red wall surrounding that classic old wooden door. The color…
This cute yellow boat is preparing to cast off on an adventure. Looking at this print takes me back to my day spent on the tropical waters near the little village of Celestún on the Yucatan coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The water, as you can see, was just gorgeous. There’s just something about…
During my short week long stay in Mérida, Mexico, I knew I had to have a little bit of tropical beach time. When I started looking into a day spent with my feet firmly planted in wet beach sand, I read about Celestún. While there is a beach much closer, Celestún sounded like exactly the…
It was on my second trip to Mérida that I really became aware of the variety of ornate wooden doors there. In part, I think it was because on that first trip, the city was novel. Every colorful street revealed a new scene. Of course, a number of years had passed as well, years in…
I stumbled over this beautiful yellow church in the Barrio de Santa Ana on my first visit to Mérida and instantly fell in love with the beautiful shade of golden yellow as well as the unique style of this old church. Most neighborhoods in old Mexican cities are centered around historic churches. In fact the…
In most places, I would go out of my way to frame a street scene to exclude the power lines. But for anyone who’s been there, there’s something about Mexican streets that would seem alien without electrical wires crisscrossing the skies overhead. It’s as much a part of the landscape as grass in a meadow….
When I was little, one of my favorite toy cars was a little blue Volkswagen Beetle. It’s always been one of those dream cars in my mind but mundane practicality has always won out when a new car was needed. But from that first toy VW until today, I’ve always had a yen for this…
I have a real soft spot for Art Deco Theaters. There is simply something in my mind which ties the golden age of movies with that particular architectural style. And it’s the era when going to the movies was an event and the theaters were ornate palaces for the people. So often these days when…
When we think of the Mayan ruins, we tend to think of the big known places like Chichen Itza and Palenque. There are a handful of major Mayan cities that have captured attention, but like our world today, every city is not a major one. On my first visit to the Yucatan, I took a…
This Chichen Itza pyramid is undoubtedly one of the most well known of the Mayan temples and virtually synonymous with a visit to the Yucatan peninsula. No doubt, most visitors to this part of Mexico probably turn up at the gates to Chichen Itza at some point during their trip. It’s practically a required stop…
Having seen the Mayan architecture at Chichen Itza first, Uxmal felt much different from the very moment I entered the site and saw the imposing mass of the Magician’s Pyramid towering over me. And this structure is very much a different style of architecture. Where the pyramids at a place like Chichen Itza are very…
Several years ago, I was on a bus from Mérida to Chichen Itza and saw my first colorful Mexican cemetery. It was an amazing sight as a little old lady on the bus exited to, I assume, commune with her departed loved ones. I still remember how I described that Mexican cemetery on my blog…
When I visited this forest of future driftwood several years ago, the boat guide told us this was a petrified forest. In fact, that was the only word I actually got from his Spanish explanation of this intriguing little bleached woodland. Fortunately for me, there was a Scandinavian family on the same boat tour and…
The first time I had a real taste of the Mayan Mystery was standing before the Temple of Kukulkan at Chichen Itza some years ago. I had long been interested in the Mesoamerican cultures and the artifacts they left behind, but no amount of reading seems to prepare one for the feeling of standing before…
This starry night in Mexico print is based off of my second visit to Mérida, the capital city of the Yucatán state. Mérida is one of those cities that simply clicked for me. I can’t explain why beyond I love the historic architecture and the people of Mérida are simply charming. My first visit to…
When I planned my week in Mérida several years ago, high on my list of things to do was to see the Chichen Itza ruins. Those amazing Mayan temples had long been on my radar. There’s something about the architectural style of ancient Mesoamerica that has long spoken to me. There’s just something exotic and…
If you’ve explored many of the ancient ruins in the Yucatan region, you’ve likely encountered a variety of Mayan serpents. This motif is carried beyond just the temples to Kukulkan. This particular Mayan Serpent, for example, is from the edge of the ancient ball court at Chichen Itza. Although it does represent the ancient Mayan…
There’s something about Mayan architecture in particular and ancient Mesoamerican architecture in general that I find fascinating. But I’m hard-pressed to put it into words. But this ancient Mayan Temple definitely stands out among the examples I’ve seen. Compared to the massive pyramids, it’s hardly the largest or most impressive from that angle, but there’s…
There’s something so serene about this print of tropical boats floating on the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. All the colors in this print from the blue and yellow tropical boats to the sea-green water and the blue skies just seems to be in a state of harmony. And the waters were so…
