We played tourist at Aztec Ruins National Monument one day for about an hour. The ruins are quite large, consisting of over 400 room and kivas. Built in about 1100 AD, it was abandoned in the late 1200s.
The ruins were hard to photograph, as access was limited.

The lobby was "cheat on your spouse" dark. I had to change lenses to the fastest i own(not that fast either} The thin DoF makes it a bit less sharp.

Today we went to a Día de Muertos event in San Jose, California. Aztec dancer did a performance to loud drums. On one dance, some of the dancers burned their thigh or foot as part of a ritual to honor the dead. You can see the pain in her face. I'd love to learn more about this ritual.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully pulled the curves and selectively adjusted the color balance.

UPDATE 2016-10-24: This interesting info got posted on my FB post:
"The burning is to send them into a altered state, so that inspiration will come. It's a variation of a ritual ancient shaamans performed. They would pierce their testicles and let the blood drip into the open fire below, inhaling the smoke their blood created to provide the inspiration directing their warriors in battle.
The thing is, all the rituals performed are religious, rather than entertainment. They should tell you ahead of time which parts are not to be photographed, as they have the potential to be damaging. Same applies to other Native (Indian) dances."
Aztec dancer Luis Flores of Guanajuato, Mexico, poses after performing at the Oct. 8, 2016, Sacred Springs Powwow in San Marcos, Texas. “I keep the spirit of the animal alive,” Flores says of the fierce-looking wolf head adorning his ornately feathered headdress. The deer head, Flores explains, is representative of the hunter’s food.
The Montezuma Oropendola must have one of the coolest bird names out there? It certainly deserves it - especially when you hear their unforgettable call.
Its name in both English and Spanish give tribute to the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II. The word oropendola is derived from the term gold pendulum, referring to the bird's bright yellow tail,
To me the bill looks like it has been dipped in an pot of orange paint.

Part III ‘Clash with the Tabascans’
Cortés and his expedition left Cozumel, and by late March his armada anchored off of the coast of the Tabascan settlement of Pontonchan. Cortés took a group of small oared boats up the Tabasco River into the thick mangrove swamps. Hidden in the lush jungle lining the river were, seemingly, countless Tabascan Warriors armed with bows and spears. The warriors rushed the Spanish boats forcing the Conquistadors to fight back in waist deep water. Cortés lost a boot on his way ashore, but he managed to continue fighting and directing his troops. The Spanish organized once on land and managed to repel the waves of Tabascan Warriors until they finally retreated back into the overgrown jungle.
Visiting Yellowwood Lake in Brown county on a Sunday afternoon. Jo forgot a warmer jacket, so she ventured across the dam (and through the woods) wrapped up in an old Aztec blanket she dragged out of the back of the car. She was like some kind of colorful accent to the Fall leaves. 8:36PM
