Mexico out of Mexico Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was visiting my family in San Antonio for Chistmas time, my brother took me to this missions, when i was in La Espanda Misision, I saw this scene I remember the old movies of the golden age of Mexican Movies. This three objets are so representative of Mexico, the cross, the Misison and the cactus, all this in the same place, by the way out of Mexico, because Texas decided joint to U.S in the XIX century. However, if you visit this state you can see still the flavor and the culture of Mexico, here there are a mix of cultures and I like it
I like the view that is the reason I decided put it in my return to TE

Have a nice start of week

Olá Elias,
uma bonita foto e até meio dramática pra mostrar os anitgos territórios mexicanos. Gostei do tom Sépia aqui, combina bem com o clima da região, até os filmes são meio amarelados assim, tipo o Traffic. Bom trabalho!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Elias, como estas amigo? Ya hace tiempo que no te visitaba. Espero que hayas pasado una buena Navidad. Sabes, cuando estube en Texas me pude dar cuenta de la gran influencia mexicana en ese pais. Es realmente maravilloso ver como los mejicanos han creado una cultura unica pero bien parecida a la de Mexico. Me gusta tu foto pues muestra algo, la cruz, que es muy appreciado en nuestros paises. Bonito use del sepia para darle mas realce a la escena. Gracias Elias :-)

Hola Elias, me gusta tu fotografia, la composición es excelente, los tonos le dan un aire muy acertado al orientarlo al pasado, y el fondo (creo que es El Alamo)le brinda el toque original que se necesita en una foto como esta.
Gracias por compartirla con nosotros.

You have a special touch, for sure, to compose mysterious and mystic moods. And you pp always enhances that. Impressive as usual.
