Properly receiving springtime in Mexico

I believe Mexican hot and sunny beaches enjoy worldwide fame because of their "good" weather. Well, if you wander a couple hundred kilometres inland from this heavenly pacific ocean seashores in the south-west, you might actually be surprised by the landscape.

You could, for example, be surprised my a mild tropical spring frost:

Waking up at 7 in the morning surprised us with frosted grass...

and car.

Or you could find yourself ascending a snowy road to a snowy peak

You might as well get lost in a tropical coniferous forest.

Or you might fancy some tacos fur lunch (too bad I didn't got a photo of this) just before a 3 pm snow shower, and then make a small ridiculous snowman behind a three.

Do I really look that ridiculous?

To the amusement of the drivers and passengers of an enormous traffic jam, this man decided to ride his his bike in the side of the road. The bicycle or the country man might not be actually much of a peculiarity on their own, but the combination is certainly not a common view.

Flying

This is a picture taken a few years ago, when there where still a couple of this street photographers wondering around downtown expecting to find someone willing pay a few pesos for an instant photograph. That business must've died with the advent of compact-digital-mobile-photographing-gadgettery. A sad view that contrasted the surrounding happenings.

This picture reminded me of this other taken of a photographer in action, totally accidental. Its description might as well take us to infinity.
