WaterFall from Above

WaterFall from Above

Another experiment with long exposure

Mini Waterfall with long exposure time

Mini Waterfall with long exposure time

This is an experiment with longer exposure times, this one was with 0.4 seconds, maybe not long, but enough to make the capture of the water movement look different.
Also shot a few with longer times, but without a tripod quite difficult to not get it blurry when doing more than one second.
This one the rocks look almost as clear as they were, love that green thingie on them.

And to think that waterfall is only like 15 centimeters tall at most.

Toucan

Toucan

Toucan

One of the things I love of the few places of Mexican Jungle I been, is that every time I go, extra to feels the wilderness of the jungle, to see all those beautiful greens in all the trees, Is that every time I go, I see one live, wild, free animal.

This time it was a toucan. only from a down point of view, since it was, in the top of a very high tree. But to hear it call, see it jump among the branches, even got a couple of photos. Its amazing how many beauties the jungle keeps inside.

Queen Fall

Banos de la Reina - Queen Fall

Queen Fall

So what did the biological entity did the weekend before the hurricane hit.
Spent time buying supplies, no, already had a few
Maybe preparing the house to support the rain, No, it really there was not much to protect.
Perhaps, going through the city looking for scape routes, Negative, the is only the bridge to go out the island.

You know one effect of a hurricane, is that it sucks all cloud and humidity in the surrounding areas, which made a promise of a clean sky.

So I decided to make a trip to Chiapas, wanted to go a bit far, but due to the long work nights during the week, couldn't wake up as early as I wanted, so the Palenque Area was as far as I went.

This time, instead of visiting the Pyramids, I decided to take the inside the Jungle trail.

There is in there a nice group of Waterfalls, of which the Queens Bath (named that way, since is believed that the Mayan Queen of Palenque used to bath there) is the prettiest.

But then, once arriving, surprise, it was dry, apparently rain season is really coming that late, the it was just the rock formation.

Yet that made an amazing spectacle in itself, to see the shapes the rocks have taken afters years and years of being rounded, shaped, modified by the pass of water.

I posted Black and white since I believe it shows the shadows and shapes in a cleaner way than color. Crazy Jessica
