Aguascalientes

The town of Aguascalientes is in the geographical center of Mexico, and is where I spent the last week of October of this year.

Wandering the streets of almost any town in Mexico, I always enjoy the colors visible everywhere.

Here are a few random scenes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jose Duran mural

Yesterday's post featured artist Jose Duran in front of one of his beautiful murals in Ajijic, Jalisco.

I featured his work in a previous post in March of this year.

Here is another of his tromp-l'oeil murals in Ajijic, photographed in October of this year. The light streaks on the mural are reflections from a window across the street. (click or tap to enlarge)

Ajijic in Blue

Another colorful scene in the town of Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico.

Ajijic: Tromp l'oeil (sort of)

Tromp l'oeil is French for "fool the eye" and is a style of painting long in vogue which attempts to paint a scene so realistically that you can't really tell it's a painting.

The beautiful mural by Ajijic artist Jose Duran provides a very colorful and interesting backdrop for this scene.
