twilight in guanajuato

Friday night, our friends drove us to Guanajuato for tacos and a peek into the city night life. First a view of the city from above; it's jewel encrusted valley left us breathless.

Then we braved the narrow winding roads through tunnels both inviting and forbidden to emerge on the heart of the city below. The sun was setting but I tried to capture as much as I could before the golden twilight disappeared on us.

Glorious color, colonial architecture. Too much beauty to take in at once.

When at last the sun began to set, I thought my chances of capturing the beauty and wonder of the city were lost. But I was wrong.

The perfect night. The perfect light. Pure magic.

hi, I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful photos of mexico - they have really opened my eyes. My husband and 9 yr old son are mad on history and geography and are yearning to see Mexico. To my shame I have been the one holding back - thinking only of the beaches and despite being beautiful the lure of a beach is not enough to make me want to visit somewhere. For some reason with Mexico I've never even researched beyond the beach photos in travel brochures - how foolish - your sample of photos have just hit me like a slap in the face of what I could be missing. The city and the countryside look 'so much up my street' that I think I will definately be surprising my family the next time they try to talk me round to a Mexican holiday. Thank you

JEALOUS. unbelievable. I would be nauseous however, remember I didn't do well in Austin with winding streets. How far in is this town? I've always wanted to make my way to Coyoacan, Mexico to see La Casa Azul(Frida's home- my favorite). Must see more...
