"A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!"

Not exactly my kind of horse, but it is impressive!

Man Working

This is a common sight on the beach or wherever tourists or large groups of people gather. Vendors' jobs are not easy, but this one is definitely colourful!

A Different Kind

This window is a bit different than the others I've posted. It belongs to Iglesia Christiana, located on Cinco de Mayo and is generally referred to by the colour of its exterior, -- the blue church.

Lovely Way to Spend a Pleasant Afternoon

Daily Catch

Mazatlan is a fish lover's Paradise!

What a mural!!

While walking down a street in a neighborhood close to Zona Dorada I saw a house that was for sale. I was intrigued not only by its size, but by the mural painted on an entire end wall!

Bell and Flowers

"Don't ask for whom the bell tolls..."

My First Collage

I finally figured out how to make a collage. Since boats are such an important part of the port city of Mazatlan, I feel that this collection is highly symbolic.

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..

Window Ajar

Are y'all getting tired of doors and windows?

A Window-of-Sorts

A glassless window atop an abandoned building.

Carved Door

Carved wooden doors have many designs. This one appeals to me!

Another Door

In this photo there are several elements common to decoration and architecture in Mexico: tiles, wooden doors, brick and stonework, and a decorative, wrought iron lamp.

Typical Window

Many windows have bars or grill work with the bottom half further protected with wooden shutters.

¡Fiesta!

The Pacifico Cafe has their doorway decorated for the fiestas of Carnaval February, 2007.

Cathedral Window

The Cathedral in El Centro is an imposing structure. Imagine my surprise to see this simple window in the rear of the church, instead of a loftier stained glass structure which is often found in many other churches of the same size. But, its beauty rests in its simplicity.

Window

Almost all casas with lovely doors and windows in Mazatlan are barred or shuttered. The flowers in this photo soften the image of the bars.

A Picturesque Door

Although it's Friday, the 13th, only good luck follows you through this gate into a lovely home.

Contemporary Door

There are many wrought iron and beautifully carved wood doors in Mazatlan. This is the most contemporary entrance I saw there.

Another Woof Dog

Another of my "friends" whom I barked at daily as I passed his home. See yesterday's post for another of my canine friends with whom I conversed---at a safe distance, of course.
