Photographer’s Note

I will come back to my US trip later… let’s go to Mexico where I spent a very short stay in the Yucatan peninsula, a beautiful touristic region, where you can find paradise beaches with white sand and numerous palm trees, … hmmm… I could not see them, I will have to go back !

October is in the middle of the rainy season in Mexico.
It means that I experienced a very hot and humid weather: 35 Celsius degrees, 80% humidity.

The first thing that caught my attention when I arrived in Mexico is the fact that you find beautiful colours everywhere, even under a very grey sky.

Here, I show you a little exposition of coloured chimes, saw at the entrance of Chichen Itza, the beautiful Maya city.
When you arrive there, you don’t see the main temples immediately. You take your time, to become impregnated with this incredible culture…

All the way long, you will meet numerous sellers, most of them selling touristic souvenirs which seems to be ‘made in China’, for 5 or 10 dollars.
But if you are patient and have a look at these sellers, you will notice that a few of them are descendant of the Mayab people. These ones will only sell hand made artworks.
They will hardly look at you and will never follow you to try to convince you to buy something ;-)
