There's no shortage of color in San Miguel de Allende, GTO, Mexico, evidenced by these colorful buckets hanging on a wall in the middle of Centro de Ciudad. Many of the homes, storefronts, doors and windows are all painted similarly. It makes for a vibrant and alive feeling when strolling the streets.

Fuji X100T - Quiet In San Miguel de Allende

Calle Hermanos Aldama on a quiet night in San Miguel de Allende. The view is looking north from Calle Terraplén. The church in the background is La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel. San Miguel de Allende is in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. It's a beautiful, quiet artsy town located in the heart of central Mexico. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the entire town. The streets, like seen here around 11:00PM, are almost always broom-swept clean. You'd have to search to find a piece of trash or other debris anywhere on the streets or sidewalks - at almost any hour of the day.

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.
