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.
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.
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.
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.
