Feathers

Posted By: Bob Harris, 12-16-2013, 10:46 AM

I took the photo at a Pow Wow event in town, not sure if the people were Mayan or Aztec, but the headdresses were so colorful I thought I would share with you.

What a cool shot, brother Bob. I've been to Mexico city (believe it or not, we drove there from Mt. Vernon, IL in 1958 ) and seen remnants of the Aztec world - I never thought about them in Nevada.

Nicely done Bob. I was some what surprised I must say, from the thumbnail picture I thought it was looking at peacocks then bam I'm seeing Indian headdresses.

they were a group of people just visiting the area Jer, first time we ever saw them at a regular Native Indian Pow Wow in the US.

You should have put a NSWSH warning on this image... or shades will be required warning, or indeed both.

That's means "Not Safe When Suffering Hangover"
