This is Geraldo looking macho, but really he is resting after walking the long path up the mountain. He's wearing the baseball cap I got him in San Antonio Texas.

It appears that there is a cave. You can't walk across. There is a drop off that isn't very obvious in the photo, but it is in person. After getting close to the drop off I saw that there is a narrow path that leads to the mountainside in the photo but it is blocked with a sign saying that it is prohibited.

It appears that half of the ruins were built into the cliff. I only wish we were allowed to go all the way up.

This is another of my favorites. This is taken looking back toward the entrance to the Malinalco archaeological zone. It was taken on top of the second building.

Ok, the name of this photo is a little tongue-in-cheek, but I was a little sad that these two men didn't get up so I could take the perfect photo. Even with them sitting there chatting away on top of the second building, It is STILL a great photo.

A Green Bromeliad by Christopher Johnson
A Green Bromeliad by Christopher Johnson — View Larger
Bromeliads will grow in the trees in warm but not dry parts of Mexico. They'll be often found in places at and near the base of a mountain by a river or stream. Hot weather is not needed, but they won't grow where it freezes. This green bromeliad is typical. You can find many of them growing in the trees in the lower part of the path to the Grutas de la Estrella in Estado de México (State of Mexico), Mexico.

Bromeliads will grow in the trees in warm but not dry parts of Mexico. They'll be often found in places at and near the base of a mountain by a river or stream. Hot weather is not needed, but they won't grow where it freezes. This clustering of bromeliads is really funny looking but it happens when more than one start growing close to each other and eventually form a ball. That is really a disadvantage for each one. You can find many of them growing in the trees in the lower part of the path to the Grutas de la Estrella in Estado de México (State of Mexico), Mexico.

These tiny white and yellow wild flowers were blooming along the path to the entrance to the Grutas la Estrella caves in Estado de México in the second half of October 2007. Although at first glance they don't seem special, just take a moment to look at the larger image and you'll see the details of light, shadow, and form that make this image one of my favorites.
