Last week my boss and I went out to Oro Loma School to take down some hardware.  We must admit that it was kind of creepy working there.  All the talks about some ghost running around the site had us both freaked out. 

We will see when is the next time we have to go out and hopefully not alone.

Thanks for reading.

Here is a photo of a church with a huge clock on it in San Francisco.  The Black & White effect looks good doesn’t it?

Thanks for reading.

Today is Thursday and we are almost finished with the week and also with our week honoring Mexico.  I didn’t get much feedback from the readers on any posts from this week but I imagine will get some later.  Remember, if you have any photos that you would love to share with us to see please do so. 

Today we are going to go through our final day in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico.  Tomorrow we will see some photos from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.  The photo on the left is from inside Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico but I am not quite sure this morning what it is of.  If any of you readers know what it is please let us know. 

I love seeing photos in black and white.  It seems that they appear more artistic and interesting.  I love history and I think that it has some amazing things that happened in Guanajuato. 

  The photo on the right is of the statue just outside of the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de Guanajuato which is a church that has some very amazing architecture features. 

I love the architecture in Mexico.  It seems that the United States has so many issues with safety that they forget about beauty anymore when creating a new building.  There isn’t anymore of that oomph that interests me and I imagine others.  I think the buildings are more of art than they are buildings in Mexico.  They have so much detail and beauty.

This is my last photo from the capital and it is a photo of an alley that had some amazing light coming through and caught my attention.  I stopped as we walked by just to capture a couple of shots.  This alley shouldn’t be confused with the one that a girl and a boy lived across the alley from each other and their parents forbid them from seeing each other but the alley was so close together that they were able to kiss each other without ever leaving the house.  That alley was on another street.  I would have loved to see that one but maybe next time.

That’s all that I have today and stay with us tomorrow as we conclude our trip to Mexico and see some photos from Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico.

Remember, if you have any photos you would like to share about your favorite location in Mexico, please do.  It doesn’t have to be in Guanajuato but it has to be in Mexico.

Thanks for reading!

Today is the second day of our trip through Guanajuato, Mexico.  Today I will take you through some of the villages that we visited while we were there and share with you some of the photos that enjoyed taking like the one on the left that I photographed.  This photo was taken with my Minolta Dimage 5.  We visited the village that my mother-in-law grew up in and it was an amazing experience.  The photo in the left contains the donkey looking at us as we walked through the village.  The farmer had some hay burning in the background and it just seemed amazing.  I converted the photo to Black & White using Adobe Photoshop.

The photo on the right is of some dried corn that I got down on the floor to take this photo.  The village has a lot of things that just seem to be lying around on the floor.  I guess the corn is for the rats and chickens to eat.  Not sure but we did come across a dead mouse.  No photo of that here but I do have it if you would like to see it.  Just let me know.

This photo to the left  is of one of the houses my mother-in-law grew up in.  In the backyard they had an old structure that looked like a small home.  It appeared to be run down now and the roof caved in, but the light was shining through this doorway and the flowers were just amazing.

That is all the photos I have for today but stay tuned for tomorrow as we continue our tour through Guanajuato, Mexico.

Thanks for reading!
