Ciudad de México: Paseo de la Reforma

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.
This building, part of the site called La Reforma, lies at the top of a long climb up a hill which was once clad in stone and beautiful, dramatic staircases, but which is now crumbling and overgrown. A tough climb in that heat, but a lovely reward at the top.
