Mazatlán-A Working City
I think that a tourist might select a different scene to represent Mazatlán--probably sea, sand, and surf with some night life added, but I believe that a citizen might think of something a bit different. Since it is a working city I chose a returning fishing boat to represent one of its industries.

I like your choice here. Good point, sometimes we forget the behind the scenes while on vacation. And those behind the scenes make for interesting photos.
The day's catch for fine seafood dining. And it has two of my favorite elements, big body of water and a boat!
What a great picture, Kate. I think the locals would agree with your choice, yes.
Happy theme day!
A great picture, boat, water, great views.
Still a beautiful shot...
A great shot and a good choice in my opinion! Have a good day, dear Kate.
What a beautiful peaceful photo
un tres bon choix et une tres belle photo. J'espere que tu vas encourager les Giants ;o)
A very good choice and a very beautiful picture. I hope you will encourage the Giants ;o)
Warm greetings from wintry Finland to you, Kate!
Thinking those, who are working there, is very kind. You are such a person, I have noticed it already before.
Have a happy weekend!
Beautiful photo! You're right, I would not think of it as representative...but I bet you eat a lot of fresh seafood there. Great choice!
That rock looks pretty amazing! Such a nice photo of a fishing boat. I think of the colours of Mexico (via your blog) when I think of Mazatlan - but that's probably Mexico in general, not specifically the city.
Thanks for posting early Kate, it's a pleasure to see this photo. A surprise for me, I didn't expect that sort of scenery in the background. I hope we get to see more landscapes in the future.
Kate your photo of boats dated 28 Jan is just MAGNIFICENT !
I'm back in the CDB ring and participating in the theme day today.
Yay! Good fresh fish!
This is what is so good about this CDP community - we see things through the eyes of a 'local'. Great choice and nice photo.
Bravo!! I see that you participate for two cities!!
I wish you a nice weekend with nice seafood!
I am with you, Kate. This is an impressive photograph, to me, maybe because we have no water deeper than my knees anywhere close.
A great shot to represent a working city!
Have a beautiful February ahead!

Happy Theme Day too!
Lovely setting - the boat against that marvellous cliff face.
For once I'm not running with the theme this month.
Oh, Kate! Que bueno! I love this choice of photos. I have enjoyed seeing your Mazatlan photos and am so jealous!!
Nice photo Kate. It is interesting because I think you have a predilection for workers...I love your MN workers series and here you've found the heart of the city as well. :)
I wonder what they are bringing home for supper or for sale.
Excellent choice, better than a touristy photo. The scene looks beautiful.
Good choice--the REAL world of Mazatlan!
Hmmmm...don't think my last comment was taken...so I'm trying again! Great shot of the real world!
great pic, it looks idyllic, even when work is involved!
Looks gorgeous Kate.
Good choice and good photo. I especially like that you represented the local view point.
Nice photo...industry is the foundation of the success of any city.
Cool shot Kate. I definitely would think of port things when thinking about Mazatlan. Looking forward to seeing it in person!
Great choise Kate!
ah, the difference between perception and reality. Tourist sees things much differently than a resident. It's all about perspective. Thanks for mentioning that distinction.
That is such a fantastic photo. It's beautiful! I love it! Love the misty look.
Happy Theme Day!

There is always something new to learn. It's so interesting , and all we know, the fact of different in tourist and local's point of view.
Great choice for this part of Mexico. Cheers from MC.
that's a brilliant photo Kate and a very interesting choice.
love the photo.
Indeed an excellent choice!!!
