ABC WEDNESDAY-"J"-JOY, SHEER JOY

Watching the sunsets in Mazatlán, México is sheer joy, especially from the Malecon or a boat!

Guest Photo

Last year I posted a fantastic photo of a diver, which was photographed by Roger from Edmonton, Canada. This year he took this sunset photo from the lobby of his newly-purchased condo. If you want to see the diver, click here. Thanks, Roger, for letting me share your photos!

A Tribute to Virginia Tech

Like the rest of the world, I watched with a heavy heart the tragedy of Virginia Tech. My symbolic tribute includes a setting sun for the lives lost that day, but the unlighted lamp-post holds out hope for a brighter period in the lives of the victims' friends and families. Time DOES heal, but it'll take a long, long time before more light shines in the hearts and minds of those individuals who have lost friends, colleagues, and family members..

Sunset

The Freeman Hotel, one of the earliest in Mazatlan, just recently got a face lift and is part of the Best Western Hotel chains. A pleasant evening can begin with a visit to the rooftop to see one of the spectacular sunsets in Mazatlan's sky. I frequently go up to the 12th floor to get a bird's eye view of the surrounding city, and if I'm lucky, I capture some fabulous sunsets. This is one of my favorites.
