February 15, 2023. The historic eruption at Volcán de Fuego, Guatemala. The eruption was so explosive that projectiles hit the tree line, sparking a forest fire that spread rapidly, fueled by wind, along the slopes of the volcano.
Dancing with the gigant of the hel
Every March 8 in Tultepec, the capital of fireworks and home of the masters and warriors of fire, the patron saint of fireworks, San Juan de Dios, and the ancestral god of fire, Huehueteotl, are celebrated.
People spend weeks or months working on their bull that will be burned as part of the devotional offering of fire, blood and fireworks as proof of their faith and bravery.
And that is how that night becomes the same hell on earth where thousands of people dance the dance of fire around and under the fire and sparks that become stars becoming for a few moments a party in the universe.
These are the ancestral traditions of a people who have been stigmatized by their culture and their art, from the people of the heirs of fire, the creators of stars and galaxies, the only place in the world where art is an explosion. BOOM!
Macro photograph of a moth in the early morning hours. He was in the gardens of a house. This specimen does not have beautiful colors, but it has a very bad character and a lot of style for the photo.

The surprising position of the mechanic over the engine of an old Chevrolet and the expression on his face denote two emotions: the weight of destiny but also the will to face it. Havana, Cuba.
The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Our Lady of Remedies Church) is a 16th-century Mexican Catholic parish church built atop the Tlachihualtepetl pyramid in the municipality of Cholula located in the central Mexican state of Puebla.
The church was built with carved stone and embellished with 24-carat gilded panels and shims, called laminilla. It has an altar in the neoclassical style.
It was built between May 1574 and August 1575 and consecrated on March 25, 1629.
The base on which the church is built is one of the largest pyramids of the ancient world, being 54 metres (177 ft) high, covering 54 acres and shaped by several superimposed structures over the course of six centuries.
Mexican photographers love to take this church with the moon on the back. There are only few dates you can do it.
una advertencia sino cuidamos nuestros océanos, llegara el momento en que las nuevas generaciones solo jueguen a que alguna vez los peces vivían en el mar. Lo que en su tiempo será solo basura
In the photograph, a man is depicted in the foreground with an expression of surprise and awe on his face. Behind him, the majestic roof of the Basilica of Guadalupe is glimpsed, with its intricate architectural details illuminated by the daylight. In the sky, a dove flies freely, adding a touch of grace and serenity to the scene. The image captures the moment when the man, perhaps a visitor or devotee, stands face to face with the grandeur and spirituality of the sacred place on the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The combination of the man's facial expression, the imposing presence of the basilica, and the presence of the flying dove creates an atmosphere of reverence and connection with the divine. It is a visual testament to the devotion and emotion that permeate this significant day at the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
En lo alto de la Sierra Chiapaneca, existen bosques mágicos, donde la neblina se apodera de nuestras miradas, un lugar que parece un sueño, por su viento tan misterioso y sus árboles tan frondosos.
A tribute to the strength and grace that only the passage of time can bestow, an invitation to contemplate the beauty that resides in the history of each person.
Esta es una fotografía macro de una planta carnivora en la cual se perciben perfectamente sus pistilos que terminan en bolitas pegajosas. Es ahi en donde el insecto llega atraido por el color rojo y se queda pegado. La planta, entonces se enrolla y lo consume lentamente.
Time passes and recurring thoughts about embarking on a journey with no return are more and more intense, knowing that everything will be darkness, without flashes of colors as this life could have been.
A beautiful sunrise in Xochimilco, one of Mexico City\'s most endangered natural areas. Urbanization creeps upon this paradise and haven for birds and other wildlife without mercy, and soon, scenes like this will be just a memory.
The eyes are one of the most intense elements where we can express what we feel. I want to express how through a look we can express not only intensity but also elegance and mystery.
