It's a bird! It's a plane! No! It's Shupermen! Coming up from the depth of a cenote where his secret hideout is buried among the many limestone caves created millions of years ago by cracks as a result of a huge meteor hitting the earth.

Wow, what cool photos with the light! I love that your photos are artistic and not just travel snapshots!

Это не Shurpermen! А бицепсы какие? Нам кажется,что это оченъ, очень нам знакомый ГЕРКУЛЕС под водой!

I thought that cenote totally had a "Phantom of the Opera" vibe to it. All that was missing was the spooky music :)

[stanyslava]

indeed :)

We also found very interesting there just the whole scale of the hacienda. Not only did they build that railway - after all, that served a clear practical purpose. What we found fascinating as well was the low brick wall running on both sides of the rails; from the look of it, the workers weren't even provided with cement to build it - it's mainly stones. We tried (in my nearly non-existent Spanish) to ask the buggy driver what the wall was for. He said something about it being there to keep the animals away from the agava plants that were being harvested there. In any case, just the forced human effort needed to build such a virtually pointless wall shows how cheap and abundant the Indian labor was.

what beautiful photo's.

I never new cenote's existed and now i would love to see them! ...I can see how you find them a bit creepy, there certainly is something eerie about them.

I love the two photo's of you and Shurik in the water, the light/water gives it a whole different look.
