We came across this garage on the backside of these condos. They were all painted with Aztec figures and symbols. I was intrigued by them. The artist really have put a lot of thoughts to this and made the figures stand out.
There are three problems in photographing a damselfly. First, since the ones I've gotten this past week love the boulders in the middle of a stream, the closest I could get without falling in was 12 feet. The female Aztec Damselfly is 39mm long. Actually, that's the second problem. The first is seeing them at 12 feet! That's a 1.75 inch insect on a boulder bigger than a bowling ball. The third problem occurred yesterday: it was very hot, and I had been been squinting through an EVF which isn't great. First, I had sweat dripping, and then ... FLOATERS bigger than a dragonfly. I readily admit that three of the shots you'll see in the next couple of days were a lot of guessing as to focus. Oh, the fourth problem - sorry 'bout that - was that the camera had a really issue in focusing, popping in and out of clarity.
I'm very happy with this new species. It's very difficult with damselflies in this part of the continent. Most males have some blue on the thorax, but the females can be gray, black, blue-grey... And then, there are three species where the females are almost identical. The female does not live up to the species name, "Vivid Dancer." If it weren't for the teeny tap shoes, I never would have known.
Two images tonight. The second was taken about a minute after this. I'll explain...
Here are a couple photos from Aztec Ruins National Monument, in northern New Mexico. This was from the second morning of the cold, snowy roadtrip to Colorado a couple weeks ago. The circular ruin in the foreground is a very large kiva.

While we were heading to North Beach from Pier 39, we heard drums from the distance. I thought they were part of the 70th Anniversary North Beach Festival. The drums got closer and closer until it was behind a public library on Columbus Street. As we turned around the corner, we saw these folks, sort of, in Aztec costumes jamming with the drum beats. It was delightful to watch the lead dancer making her move in rhythm. I took a few shots of them and continued to watch for tens minutes before heading off to the festival.
An old railroad water tank near Dateland, Arizona. No longer used, it stands as a silent reminder of travels long past.

looks like I did some TIME TRAVELING for this shot ((:
.... but i took it just the other day in my pueblo..... while 'dancing backwards' in front of this Pre-hispanic Danzante (Dancer) at a local parade. i don't know if his look was for 'really' playing the part for me, or if he actually was getting fed-up with me and my camera in his face (((:
whichever the look was for, i love it!!
((((: i will try and find this man in my village... by asking around..... and i will let you know, maybe this is how he looks always (((;

An original design which reminded me of the Aztec square pyramid temples. Lots of opportunity to enhance the 3D aspect with shading :)
This antique stone carving has been hanging on our walls way before I was born and it was only when I took a photo of it a few weeks ago that I realized that it's the Aztec calendar.
"The Aztec calendar, is the calendar system that was used by the Aztecs as well as other Pre-Columbian peoples of central Mexico. It is one of the Mesoamerican calendars, sharing the basic structure of calendars from throughout ancient Mesoamerica.
The calendar consisted of a 365-day calendar cycle called xiuhpohualli (year count) and a 260-day ritual cycle called tonalpohualli (day count). These two cycles together formed a 52 year "century," sometimes called the "calendar round." The xiuhpohualli is considered to be the agricultural calendar, since it is based on the sun, and the tonalpohualli is considered to be the sacred calendar.
The calendric year may have begun at some point in the distant past with the first appearance of the Pleiades (Tianquiztli) asterism in the east immediately before the dawn light.[1] (See heliacal rising.) But due to the precession of the Earth's axis, it fell out of favor to a more constant reference point such as a solstice or equinox. Early Spanish chroniclers recorded it being celebrated in proximity with the Spring equinox." - Taken from Wikipedia. Read more here.
