I was visiting this beautiful town in veracruz, the State where I born and a famous Mexican actrees (Salma Hayeck too). As usual in summer and fall rains a lot. I like to see how is the life in any place I visit and I enjoy it see the people passing by, I took this picture to show one part of this. Particularity, I like the reflex of this three guys even incomplet and I like how the sandal of this girl splash it.

I paste add some information about this place in case you are interesting in this city.
Thank you.

Tlacotalpan is a lazy tropical town on the Papaloapan River, 58 miles south of the port of Veracruz. Settled by Spaniards in the 16th century, Tlacotalpan was an important Gulf coast river port until the late 19th century, when it lost the bid for the railroad and the steamships quit coming to call. Today, its brightly painted houses and Arabic-style portals are lovingly preserved and, in 1998, the town was designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Situated on the palm-covered delta of the Papaloapan and San Juan rivers, Tlacotalpan is home to hundreds of species of birds. You can read further about Tlacotalpan's rich history, jarocho musical tradition and the annual Feast of Candelaria.

After the raucous port of Veracruz, this quiet, friendly town provides a perfect retreat for writers. The writing workshop meets in Tlacotalpan for a week.

excellent picture, congratulations the idea is great

I like very much this street capture, Elias. The people passing by the nice background with the arches and of course the reflections in foreground. The way she holds the baby and makes the splash with the sandels and also his brother (I guess) following her from a distance, with the same manners, make this a very interesting scene. Very good shot. Congratulations!
Un saludo e bueno fin de semana,
Ricardo

Hi Elias!
A good shot of Mexico (I really need to go there). I like this perspective of the street with these people passing. The colours and their reflexion on the water is great!
Regards, Anabela

Hola Eias:
Como hoy no tenías foto nueva, me he dado otro paseo por tu ya bastante grande galería y me he parado en esta foto.
Me encanta la composición con el espacio entre la mujer de la izquierda y el chico de la derecha, así como el soportal que preside el centro de la foto.
Es pintoresco el agua en el suelo y los protagonistas mojándose sin prestar mayor atención.
Por supuesto, el reflejo del agua termina de dar personalidad a la foto.
Un abrazo: Javi
