On the road again... (in Campeche)

Well its sure seems like I am never home nowadays, this time I am in Campeche. I am here with my job for an educational fair, the hotel is fairly nice and the food is good so all is a-ok. Last night I was walking around with Aris and we saw a festival of some sort going on in front of this old colonial church. It was mostly dancing, and although this is not something I am particularly interested in, the women were beautiful and the colors of their costumes really bright and cool… I think they made for some pretty nifty pictures. Anyway here are some shots, hopefully ill get a few more pics before the trip is done.

Gotta love of those colors... you sure dont get that in a can

Snaped this photo at the "Puerta de Tierra" in Campeche


I feel so bad for this poor tucan, he is so beautiful and sad... if I had not been there with my work I would have probably made quite a scene... actualy I regret not buying him, but who knows if he could

I took this photo way back in 2003 during my first trip to Italy, so it has quite a bit of sentimental value.


I took this photo in Moss Norway over my 2006 Xmas holidays. It was in this really dark church, so it was quite dificult to get good shots, but still I think this one came out quite nice


I really like this photo, I took it las November when I went with a group of people I know to do some volunteer work


I took this photo last time I was in Chiapas, this old mayan woman really caught my eye

I realize this is not really a portrait, but in composition I guess it could be considered so, what do you think?
