Flaming Gorge Reservoir Water Reflections
We visited this stunning place on both sides: Wyoming and Utah and they both gorgeous places to see.
The day when we visited the Flaming Gorge National Park in Wyoming, the water was so calm and clear. Just perfect for some astonishing perfect symmetric reflections.
The lake at this National Park Recreation Area was formed by the 1964 construction of the Flaming Gorge Dam. You can see it on Utah side of the park.
I took these water reflections photos at the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, Utah, taken in the month of October
Here are some more of those fantastic water reflections creating almost abstract images:
I particularly liked the earth’s brown, beige, orange and red colors contrasting with the blues of the water.
Here you can even see a small bird – Loon probably, floating on the water 🙂
The whole area of an astonishing beauty offers various outdoor recreational activities like: boating, swimming, camping, fishing, and climbing. See more North American National Parks we visited.
It’s not unusual to see fresh mangoes served on Acapulco beaches. You can have these luscious tropical cut fruits directly at your beach towel, simple, with no effort 🙂 Local vendors will serve them to you, along with fresh cut limes to squeeze on top.
** I took my photos some years ago while my husband and I took a long vacation in Acapulco, visiting as much as we could. I also uploaded the images below to my Fine Art America gallery. Click on the links to see them in a larger format with all the print versions:
I was attracted by this young Mexican carrying and delivering them by the side of the water. It was quite a delight for me to see his wooden creative – multipurpose tray. I also like the way the tropical fruits were cut like flowers. I knew Mexicans are inventive and artistic, so I was not surprised to see those mangoes stuck in sticks for easy eating 🙂 The limes where also already cut in half and it looks like they were quite popular… 🙂
The fresh mangoes on Acapulco beaches are not only attractively cut, but also so… delicious! Needless to say that they are really inexpensive 🙂
If you are curious to know, this was actually the beach where I have seen and photographed the delivery young man. Him and others were continuously bringing food and drinks to the beach from the nearby hotel restaurants.
More Mexican food by the beach
But there are more goodies you can have on Acapulco beaches.
Tourists can also have some exotic refreshing drinks and cocktails. On these beaches, not only you will not die of thirst, but you will also get an additional good vacation mood 🙂 I got inspired and gave a painterly look to this photo.
The snacks by the waterside vary from place to place… And there are so many beautiful shores to explore and get your suntan.
The seaside of front of this hotel is too rocky, so you can lay-down on their terrace in beach longhairs while watching the ocean waves. Since this is part of a hotel, you can have a variety of snacks. Our favorite was always the chips and salsa, along with a Mexican beer of course 🙂
So, pull up a seat and have a Mexican snack!
** I also made my photo as a watercolor painting using the digital media. Well, I like to get creative with my pictures, that’s probably because of the vacation mood 😉
Acapulco is famous for its beaches and it’s also a popular Mexican touristic destination. There is so much more there than just seawater…and, well, mangoes treats. One of the main attraction is the The cliff divers show, but that’s a story by itself.
The craft vendors in Panajachel Guatemala make the picturesque landscape around the Lake Atitlan even more attractive to the tourists and visitors.
This is a peddler indigenous vendor carrying bundled handmade merchandise on her head.
The craft vendors in Panajachel Guatemala are conspicuous
You can see them and photograph them on the beach, along the stoned promenade around the lake on the streets or small markets.
Sometimes they agree to pose for a small amount of money:
Their meticulously handmade artwork with geometric motifs are replicating the bright and bold colors of the Central America environment.
I found interesting this scene of an indigenous craft vendor carrying all the merchandise, and trying to make a phone call from a public telephone:
The indigenous people are selling them and also wearing them as traditional costumes. This is a beautiful traditional needle crafted Guatemalan woman shirt.
Guatemalan crafts also can make nice decorative art prints home decor or accessories.
