Originally posted by MiguelD I've always loved the gold country and the Grass Valley/Nevada City area particularly.
Nevada City is very photogenic, yes. We're a bit further south, below Kit Carson Pass. But we'll relocate for the winter to our adobe in picturesque Bisbee AZ on the Sonora border.
We've spent time around Parral (Chihuahua), Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Taxco, Veracruz, Campeche, Tulum, San Cristobal de Las Casas, and south, and have driven much of Mexico. We want to next stay awhile in Colima, Morelia, Puebla, Xalapa, Oaxaca. (I had enough of DF a long time ago.) And now I have more and better lenses to take! I can't wait to use the K50/1.2 and Tamron 10-24 in Taxco and Xilitla.
For those unfamiliar: Taxco [TAHS-koh] is a vertical village, formerly the silver capitol of the world, with the most splendid
parrochia (mini-cathedral) and a Stygian marketplace that dives deep into the earth. Among other stuff. Xilitla [hee-LEET-lah] is an even more vertical hamlet that hosts Las Pozas, a British royal bastard's surreal construction looking like a cross between HP Lovecraft, MC Escher, and Salvador Dali (who stayed there).
If I knew when we'd head south again I'd offer to drive your lenses down to you. But that's too much uncertainty.
!Feliz Navidad!
