PhotoHunter: metal

I'm very late again (and I'm cheating again, though I prefer to describe it as lateral thinking).

The first two (scanned) photos are from our trip to the Copper Canyon in Mexico 1997.

An incredibly spectacular place.

This was not our first visit to Mexico. About two years earlier we visited Taxco, the Silver City.

A beautiful place on the hillside, it used to be a centre for silver mining.

And finally, just to prove that I can do things properly, a brass bowl from Bida in Nigeria.

This, along with several others, was bought by my parents when we lived there.

  1. Beautiful photos, A and the last one makes me think to several things Pierre's parents brought with from North Africa when they come to live in France.

  7. Copper Canyon looks beautiful! I do not think it's cheating for the "metal" theme. It's fun to see different interpretations!

  8. I think those are great for the metal theme. I like thinking posts where it's a different take on the theme. Beautiful shots of Cooper Canyon and Taxco and then the brass bowl to finish off your metal post was perfect.

  13. That was cheating for the cause, and as such is easily excused. Great views (but I am prejudiced, loving this type of scenery).

    Thanks for visiting, and have a great week!
