Lost in the Crowd

This little guy was patiently waiting in line with his parents at a medical clinic in Guatemala. He was squeezed in with people all around him with this lost look on his face. Good news, he survived the day.

Please Pray!!

Please pray for the families in Alabama and through out the southeast that lost love ones.
May God help these people rebuild and heal them from their losses.

Colorful Buildings

Antigua Guatemala, is full of colorful buildings, some are old and run down as in the top photo and some are kept up as in the bottom photo.

Mango's on a Stick

I love mango's and these are some of the biggest I've ever seen. Guatemala grows some of the best produce around including what I consider the best coffee.

Big Hat

When walking around looking for different subjects to photograph you never know what you might come up with. I thought this woman with the Big Hat looked interesting and I don't think I've ever seen a hat this big. I wonder were she stores it?

Kids

 I love kids, there the future and fun to watch. There also very curious went you have a camera and for the most part enjoy being photographed.

Therefore, anyone who becomesas humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Matt. 18:4

Make a Joyful Noise

During Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Antigua, the mood is pretty somber focusing on the death of Christ, which is mostly a Catholic tradition. However the real power for Christians is the risen Savior. It is finished! The Resurrection power made a supernatural place for me (Heaven) to live for Eternity.

The Next Day-Sabbath

Saturday in Antigua, is much quieter and a good time to reflect on Good Friday and to anticipate the Celebration of Resurrection Sunday.  

Good Friday

This is Holy Week or Semana Santa in Antigua Guatemala. Good Friday is big there and Processions will go on all through the night.

Jesus said "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews, But now my Kingdom is from another place.

John 18:36

Families

During Holy Week families come from all over the country and the world to Antigua Guatemala, to pay homage to their faith in Christ.

Roman Soldiers

Roman Soldiers play the part in a "Procesional" during Semana Santa in Antigua Guatemala.

Alfrombras-Aftermath

Yesterday I showed you what these bueatiful Alfrombras (Rugs) looked like, today what they look like after the Procesional comes through.

Alfombras (Rugs)

This is Holy Week in Guatemala, home to the famous Alfombras that they make in the streets in Antigua Guatemala. They are absolutely beautiful as they adorne the street of this city only to be trample later in the day or night by a "Procesional". If you've never be there it's worth trip. People come from all over the world to Antigua, during Holy Week or Semana Santa.

Ben's Chili Bowl

 

Ben's Chili Bowl. As Yogi Berra would say, "Nobody eats there anymore--it's to crowded". He's right I'll have to wait til another time.

Land of 10,000 Bikes

With gas prices raising more people in the US may take to riding a bike to work everyday. This will present a new problem, were to park all those bike? I'm sure the government will also find a way to tax all those cyclist and parking fees will be at a premium.

Rothenburg

On Germany's romantic road lies the beautiful picturesque village of Rothenburg. A must see if your ever in the area. Note how clean the streets are.

Scare Crow

 While driving across the country side in Germany, I came across this Scare Crow, a site that is not often scene in the US. Photo taken in Langenzen Germany.

Imbondeiro Tree

This is the national tree of Angola. The Imbondeiro Tree I was told does bear an edible fruit that was not in season when I was there. I thought this tree had an unusual looking trunk.

Segovia

Segovia Spain, an interesting city to got out and have a nice dinner. Yes the food in Spain, is first class!! Afterward a stroll through this city is worth the effort.
Check out the Aqua Duct that the Romans build in the background.

Carrying Bread

Not only is this hard working woman carrying bread on her head all day she's also caring for a baby at the same time. This is a common scene throughout this part of Africa, (Angola) to see women carrying goods with their small children around their waist.

Letty

I came across this street vendor named Letty, while taking a quick early morning stroll though the streets of Guatemala City. I was encourage by the fact that she was reading her Bible while waiting for customers to buy her goods. I pray that God will bless her and protect her and use her mightily.

The Artist

This young Artist was hard at work doing her creation at a public art competition called "Chalk the Block." In addition to what she was drawing I thought her hair was also quite artsy.

Folklorico Dancer

Colorful Folklorico Dancers make great subjects to photograph weather their dancing or not. There bright outfit are always eye catching. This young lady was taking a break before going back on stage to perform.

Jose Galvez

World Famous Photographer and author of several books Jose Galvez, is seen here working the streets of El Paso Texas, perhaps for new material for another book. I've had the privilege on several occasions to hang out with Jose and always learn something new and have lots of fun doing it.

Angelique Kidjo

What a dynamic performer from West Africa (Benin) who can sing in four different languages; English being one of them. I look forward to this summer when the concert season gets into full swing.

More Cherry Blossoms

A few more blossoms from the weekend.

Cherry Blossoms in Bloom

Yes it's that time of the year when the Cherry Blossoms are in bloom. They are a pretty spectatular site to see espeacily if you've never seen them. I think this is the last week to caught them.

America's Pastime

Nothing like enjoying a ball game on a Sunday afternoon with friends and family. God Bless America!!

Miradoura da Lua

What a fantastic place this is right outside of Luanda Angola. The name refers to Looks like the Moon. I only wish I would of had more time here to get some photos as the sun was going down as this place is right on the ocean facing west right in to the sunset. I think I took photo around three in the afternoon.

Springtime

Well, it's springtime somewhere in the world right now. Were I'm at right now it's not, still waiting for warmer weather, sunshine and all the wonderful things that come with this time of year.
