Found my Mojo!, been ages since I got wet ;-) found these warn limestone blocks in the North Bay at Kaikoura on New Zealand’s South Island, carved smooth by the sea in a very blocky pattern, very different to the other rocks I found which tended to be sharp like sharks teeth. Shot on a Nikon D700 with 17-35mm lens, with Cokin ND4 grad filter.

The remaining ruins at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, are a tribute to the complexity and advancement of the Maya empire. The grounds hold multiple ruins that are now considered the 7th wonder of the world. Truly worth the trip to this area, these ruins are an experience of a life time.

Found these warn limestone blocks in the North Bay at Kaikoura on New Zealand’s South Island, carved smooth by the sea in a very blocky pattern, very different to the other rocks I found which tended to be sharp like sharks teeth. I was facinated by these rocks, made several visits to them at different times of the day, they looked like the remains of a Lost Civilization.

Captured this image of the Mayan Temple ruins in Altun Ha, Belize. Depicted is “The Temple Of Masonry Altars”, which is the largest structure here. Beautiful place, very peaceful area, inhabited by quite a few interesting bird species which I had never seen before. / This HDR image was created from a single image, using ReDynaMix.

My passion for drawing and painting native people comes from my own native background. It is a way to represent where I came from and who I am. Painting mothers and their children gives me great joy. The inspiration comes from having my own children. It is also a special way to honor the memory of my mother. Combination water color and pastel on cotton canvas / picture from original For my dear friend Jeri – who has been a mother to me

The fractal was created with Apophysis then inserted into Photoshop and played with.. The time consuming part was deleting some parts of it so that a defined shape would be created in to the final product

“As avid stargazers, the ancient Maya were keen to an astrological cycle we call the Precession of the Equinoxes. This is close to a 26,000 year cycle in which Earth transits through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac for about 2152 years each. Each of these astrological ages represents one month of the grand, Cosmic Year. Sumerians, Tibetans, Egyptians, Cherokees, Hopi, and Mayans refer to this same 26,000 year cycle in their mystical belief systems and each have developed calendars based on this great cycle. The Maya messengers, reknowned for their architectural, artistic, mathematical and scientific achievements, left a calling card as a series of super-human sized stone monuments and pyramids with precise calendrical computations. Planted with great intention, these dates were left to ensure that future generations would be alerted to the coming end point of this great 26,000 year cycle. A cycle which corresponds also to a 26,000 year relationship of our Sun orbiting Alcyone, the central star of the 7 Sisters Pleiades constellation. According to the Maya, the “future” which lies beyond this end date is literally “a new world age” – “a new creation.” The 26,000 year cycle of the Homo Sapien’s evolution and development is mirrored by the 260-day cycle of human gestation. Collective humanity is right now maturing into the being we have long been encoded to be. As with any labor, it is not the mother, or the baby, who is in charge – it is the primal process of Birth itself unfolding its own destiny. Thus the December 21, 2012 AD is not the day where all of the sudden a light switch will flip on and everything will change, rather, we are NOW in the process of this transition from one World Age to the next. The changes are underway and will continue steadily accelerating as we head towards the culminating date! ...” ~ Info source here

The ladies of Nebaj, Guatemala are famous for their flambouyant traditional dress. The turban-style head wrap is particularly characteristic. Favored colors change from year to year – this year, green was in style. The isolated village was finally connected to the rest of Guatemala by a paved road just a year ago.

Santiago is a traditional Mayan village located on the shore of beautiful Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala. The major tribal group in the village are the Tzutujil People. The Tzutujil Ladies are famous for their “halo” headdresses. Unfortunately, these are now rarely seen, worn only by a few elderly village ladies..

‘the big hill View up the highest pyramid (138 feet) in Yucatan, Mexico called Nohoch Mul (‘large hill’). Built by the Mayan people over a thousand years ago (600-900AD) on a vast forested site at Coba, in its heyday the city covered over 80 sq km, housing over 50,000 people. Its crumbling deserted ruins lay overgrown in the forest for over a millenium and while knowledge of this expansive site was never completely lost, it only came to the attention of scholars in the 1920s… It was the building of the new tourist town of Cancun that led to some restoration and its opening as one of the most natural sites in the peninsula. It is one of the few pyramids you can still climb. (Its no longer permitted on the pyramid of Kulkulkan at Chichen Itza , voted online as one of the seven new wonders of the world). There were a series of ancient raised roadways called sacbe(ob) connecting Coba with other ceremonial sites in the peninsula Climbing it on your own first thing in the morning was an amazing feeling – rewarded by incredible (and giddying!) views across the jungle with another pyramid jutting up through the forest Coming down is much much harder and the rope can be a saviour and many white knuckles have gripped it for security during the steep descent (my own included!!). There were so many remains of huge interest including the old ball court where they played pelota for the highest stakes and getting on a bike helped us move between ruins in the wild forest (only a tiny proportion excavated) with amazing bird and wild life. It was leaving our first visit at dusk the night before that we saw the fascinating coatimundi rootling around on one of the many unexcavated heaps of rocks from one fallen building, now reclaimed by the forest… A must – see if ever you are in mexico …. oooh and be careful of the crocs in the lake too!.... / :)))) Nikon D60; Nikkor 18-200 lens;UV filter;f/5.6;1/125 sec;ISO-100;fl 18mm

El Castillo at Chichen Itza in Mexico is an amazing stepped 30m pyramid with a temple on top constructed by the Mayans around 1100 AD, but mysteriously abandoned by 1400. Thought to represent Snake Mountain, a mystic place in Maya folklore where creation first occurred, it is also called the temple of Kukulkan after their feathered serpent god ( the Aztec’s Quetzalcoatl). The Maya were great mathematicians, inventing the concept of “zero” long before western civilizations and constructed this to have a special astronomical significance . Twice a year people gather now in thousands to see the setting sun casting a shadow of a serpent on the northern steps of the pyramid illuminated only at the spring and autumn equinoxes…. Voted recently online as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World this is a remarkable archeological site with many structures, a ball court and the Sacred Cenote, a pool used for ceremonial human sacrifice perhaps in times of drought… You are no longer able to climb those narrow steps to the top … and the door visible at the bottom leads to an older inner templer containing a “chac mool” statue and a jaguar throne. Very early shot with my first DSLR : Nikon D60 with Nikkor 18-200mm & UV filter. Slightly tweaked. f/8 / 1/250 sec / ISO-100 / 18mm See also wall of skulls / / / / CLICK BELOW for more images from this wonderful country: mexico :)))

This was in my sons head and is now in three dimensional reality – it is a play on words – My Own Son. The Aztec Mayan symbology is reflected in the mandala : The verdigris and gold pyramids symbolize the steps he will take in his life. / The eagles symbolize his connection with Great Spirit – his totem at birth was the Wedge Tailed Eagle. / The jaguar pawprints symbolize journeying, and the great wild velvet cat that purrs beneath his skin… / The compass points his directions in life – he will walk them all. / The symbols within are Mayan calendar symbols representing his birth time, birth date and other relevant information. / At the centre is the feathered serpent – Quetzlcoatl – twinned. The light and the dark, the good and the bad, life and death are intertwined in symbol. / Heavily jewelled (well, paste LOL) and gilt with gold – my gift to him as he was my gift to me.

Tulum’s greatest attraction is its location. It stands on a cliff facing the rising sun and looking out on views of the Caribbean that are nothing less than spectacular. / The beach below is breathtakingly beautiful and partial view of the Castillo is visible on a bluff in this shot.
