The ancient city of Teotihuacan, strolling along the great "avenue of ceremonies"
The Aztecs marked it as "the place where the gods were born"
The ancient city of Teohtiuacan, in the central Mexican State of Mexico is a huge archeological site and place of an old prehispanic civilization that came to being before the Aztecs reign in the country.
Great Central Avenue allong the great axis defining the city of Teohtihuacán, strolling from the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl ending in the Pyramid of the Moon, passing through the Pyramid of the Sun.
Pyramids from the ancient cultures of México, the prehispanic era, differ from the Egyptian pyramids in seveal aspects, the most important is its function. Where Egyptian pyramids were used as burial signals or monuments, the Mexican ones were mostly used as ceremonial sacred places and many times as temples often with a dedication to a certain deity, in the case of Teohtihuacán its complicated because of its enourmous quantity of temples, ceremonials places, plazas and of course pyramids where each one is dedi ated to adifferent deity in a polyteist society. It is supposed by archeoligists that the pyramid of the sun was dedicated to the God of rain "Tlaloc" and the pyramid of the moon was dedicated to rthe Goddess of rain "Chalchiutlicue"
Another difference is the building methods and materials. While most of the Egyptian pyramids are made of huge stone blocks from queries not far from the river Nile, put in place through an intricate system of rollers, hande made cranes, ramps and lifts, it is believed they covered it with layers of moulded material so in the end it shoul've have a complete even and smooth surface. This finish in principle is the same as the Mexican pyramids where they also painted this smooth surface with colorful designs. And their building methods differ where they often used a method of prefabrication and an intricate method of reinforcement made of raw concrete to make the construction to withstand earthqùakes and pouring everlasting rain from the tropics and jungle.

As a teenager (I’m 55 now) I was the kid that was always carrying a camera – a Pentax K1000 that my grandfather gave me – and at the time I thought that’s where my career would be. But life, as it does, took a different path, and my careers (I’ve had a few) lay in other d...

This one was 'inspired' by Ross Finnie's excellent shot.
I hadn't looked at his photo in a while and realised I'd done the same thing that he later realised - could have got both the camera body and the mirror in focus - next time.

I have shot my first roll of slide film (Fuji Velvia 50) and I'm amazed by the rendering of the color. The lab scan is not perfect and does reduce the brilliant colors of the slide.
