Quinientos años, ¡ya hace!,
que ocurriera la Reforma.
Cuando la luz es muy tenue
es preciso encender
una luz que nos alumbre
y nos haga comprender
que hay abusos que no se deben
por más tiempo soportar,
ni aguantar tanto mesías
que nos quiere esquilmar.
Mas no mires a otro lado,
que todos tenemos cosas
que debemos retirar,
y alumbrar con buen agrado
la justicia y honestidad.
Martín Lutero - Castillo fuerte es nuestro Dios.
Several kilometres of Paseo de la Reforma are closed to cars on Sunday leaving the lanes to cyclists, skaters and pedestrians.
Today WAH are visiting Pubs, Bars, Inns and Taverns
So to oblige we visited La Reforma for a late lunch and I had a Mexican coke....oh it had a dash of rum in it apparently.
I should add we go here each Thursday for a late lunch/early dinner because the food is so good.
These are the remains of the first building you come to at the ruin of La Reforma. The light was gorgeous and it was a very special moment shooting this image.
At the end of November, I took my third trip to Mexico to photograph Mayan ruins. I visited a number of ruins not open to the public, overgrown and hidden in the jungle, in order to continue working on my infrared images of Mayan Ruins. Many people think that the large ruins (Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Labna, Sayil, etc.) comprise the totality of Mayan civilization in the Yucatan, but there are literally hundreds of smaller or satellite cities spread throughout Yucatan and Campeche. I am so drawn to these beautiful, sometimes remote, ruins, partially overgrown, but still standing after more than a thousand years.
If you'd like to read about this trip, I have a blog post about it that you might enjoy.
Zurriola, San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco, España.
La Playa de Zurriola es una de las tres playas de la ciudad de San Sebastián (España). Está situada entre la desembocadura del río Urumea y el monte Ulía, y tiene una longitud aproximada de 800 metros.
En 1994 se llevaron a cabo unas obras de reforma de la playa, anteriormente prácticamente inutilizable dada la virulencia de las aguas. Gracias a dichas reformas, que incluyeron la construcción de un espigón, la playa aumentó su longitud, sus aguas se hicieron aptas para el baño y su uso se multiplicó.
Frente al perfil elegante y tranquilo de las playas de Ondarreta y La Concha, la playa de Zurriola se ha consolidado como una playa de perfil más joven y apropiada para la práctica del surfismo (se trata de la playa más abierta y con más fuerte oleaje de la ciudad) y como escenario de algunos conciertos del Festival de Jazz de San Sebastián y de competiciones de Bodyboarding, surf, skateboarding y eventos similares.
The Zurriola Beach is one of the three beaches in the city of San Sebastián (Spain). It is located between the mouth of the Urumea River and Mount Ulía, and it has an approximate length of 800 meters.
In 1994, some works were carried out to reform the beach, which was previously practically unusable given the virulence of the waters. Thanks to these reforms, which included the construction of a jetty, the beach increased its length, its waters became suitable for bathing and its use multiplied.
Facing the elegant and tranquil profile of the beaches of Ondarreta and La Concha, Zurriola beach has established itself as a beach with a younger profile and suitable for surfing (it is the most open beach with the strongest waves in the the city) and as a stage for some concerts of the San Sebastian Jazz Festival and competitions of Bodyboarding, surfing, skateboarding and similar events.
A reforma está sendo feita em toda a estrutura do prédio que tem mais de 30 metros de altura. Todos os blocos de concreto estão sendo retirados e recolocados....Tudo pela arte.
