niveles

i really like this shot because it shows how the levels of the city are constructed, and how the the buildings have
the effect of looking stacked.

mi casa esta muy lejos

okay, so this is hard to explain, but i'll try. if you look at the left side of the picture about halfway up, there is a smallish white dome. now look up to the top of the hill line directly above it, there is a white building. that is my neighbor's house, mine is directly to the right, but it is covered by a tree.

domes

all those domes are churches. every single time a catholic mexican (a little redundant, i know) passes a church, they cross themselves, that's a lot of crossing.

plaza

because i arrived at night, i couldn't see the city. the next morning i walked to school with my roommate. to get to school we walked down tiny alleys that were all under construction, when we got to the center, where the streets were paved with cobblestone, this was the first thing i saw, i cannot remember the name--maybe the plaza del sol.

seeing a barren street in guanajuato was rare... at the moment this picture was taken, the street felt as artificial as it looks
