Can't think of a cute title for this one, any suggestions?
I liked the original (Los Mexicas) very much so I decided to do a little something extra with it. Here I've played with it and divided it into three and made a tryptic in black and white. I particularly like the way the wind caught the feathers of the young man's headdress.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOU VIEWS, FAVES, COMMENTS, AWARDS AND INVITES. ESPECIALLY THANK YOU 'Daniel Arrhakis'.
Beautiful Aztec dancers on the 'malecon' in beautiful
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Click on the image to see it large and lots of lovely details.
The plan is to post some images over the next while from my stay in Vallarta last year that I haven't gotten around to posting. I thought I should do that soon as another visit is fast approaching. Don't want to get too far behind.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR VIEWS, FAVES AND COMMENTS! XO

Coatlicue (pron. Co-at-li-cu-e) or 'Serpent Skirt' was a major deity in the Aztec pantheon and regarded as the earth-mother goddess. Represented as an old woman, she symbolised the antiquity of earth worship and she presents one of the most fearsome figures in Aztec art.

On my visit to México City in 2008, I was in the amazing Museum of Anthropology, I must say it was a remarkable experience. Among others, I photographed this Aztec sculpture that depicts the granite stone of The Aztec Calender or Calendario Azteca, displayed permanently in the Aztec seccion of The Anthropology Museum, Mexico City. The face in the center of the disk represents the sun god "Tonatiuh"
