Fuji X100T - Doors & Windows

These shots are from a trip to San Miguel de Allende, GTO, Mexico in the spring of 2015. Everywhere you look there are colorful doors & windows.

These shots are from a trip to San Miguel de Allende, GTO, Mexico in the spring of 2015. Everywhere you look there are colorful doors & windows. But not your average run-of-the-mill doors & windows. Apparently it's a local city requirement that all storefronts, house fronts, doors & windows have to be painted within certain color groups. I like it. I think we could use more of that in the USofA. It not only makes for a lively, colorful and bright community, it makes for great picture taking opportunities. Endless.

Fuji X100T - Humanity

There's no shortage of humanity in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

In the streets of San Miguel de Allende, GTO, Mexico there are plenty of signs of humanity. It struck me that even the poorest of the poor shared some common traits. They were all clean, reasonably well-dressed, friendly, polite, seemingly content and were just trying to get through each day. They were happy for a kind word, perhaps a brief chat - even with my not-quite-fluent Spanish. They were certainly grateful for a few pesos. I was happy giving them some.
