Description
I was going thru some very old fotos, (like so old I took them with my Pentax K1000 --with FILM, remember that??!!) and found some shots I took in Mexico. There's a village south of Puerto Vallarta called Yelapa and it's accessble only by boat. When I stayed there, electricity had yet to come and it was pretty basic living. Things have changed, they've got power, cell phones, computers, the whole nine yards now. At any rate, this is looking down on the beach, my favorite place!!
Oh, and the only time the hills are that green is in the summer,when it rains like crazy, gets up to about 100 degrees and is so humid you can't breathe. I know my friends in the south will appreciate that!! Oh, and with no electricity, that means NO fans, AC, NOTHING to make you feel better. I spent 3 weeks there in the summer once--NEVER again!!

lovely capture..beautifull shadows and highlighs my friend x 5+
Gives a great impression of the tropics. Very lovely.
Unusual colors but that has to be coming from old prints or negatives. I've got lots of our favorite family pictures while we were stationed in Europe that have turned a shade of orange. At least they are still viewable. Thinking of three weeks with no power in tropical heat...did you feel like castaways?
Sounds like a nightmare! And yet it looks so wonderful!
super postwork
extraordinary shot and postwork!! Bravo!
Gorgeous ! Where are the dino´s ? :p
You're a braver woman than I am...I couldn't live in that kind of climate without air conditioning! Nice tropical capture!
Very nice capture, wish I was there ;)

I made some of my best photos wit a Pentax K10000, but without film. I should retrieve them. You did a great pic here. I like the effect on the leaves.
I have a Pentax-built Sears film SLR that I purchased in 1981, which will probably never be used again. Took tons of shots with it over the years, including my current run of Albuquerque hot air balloon photos. But I digress. Excellent light/dark contrast, and extremely lush green foliage in this capture, Marilyn.
This looks nice and warm, and the beach is beautiful!
Yeah, this is where I need to spend and week or two!!!
Time and progress sure moves fast... Nice capture. Aloha
I'm sure Bill knows, maybe negatives really add to that saturated look...but maybe it was in your eye and choices as well. The sky color, the heavy contrasts on the leaves, and the sense of it all being drenched captures the feel of those torpid places. I've been on the Gulf of Mexico & in southern Spain, so at least I have a 'sense' of those places. However, I've had many friends from India, and they tell me of weeks where it's so hot and humid, you feel like you're walking in an ocean rather than in air. This shot feels like that: You got the overheated intensity. (I once was with a yogi from Calcutta, and it was 102F here in Chicago. I was wilted. He smiled & said, "what, you don't like these spring breezes???")
