I really like the facades. What is the significance of it? Religious?

Beautiful buildings and scenery.  It's interesting that it is hottest in March there.  Is that unique climate caused by the altitude and the basin?

How old is the building with the elaborate facade in #2?

The elaborated facade is a catholic church, finished in 1730.

Weather gets cooler thanks to the rainy season, which starts in june and ends by end of september. Altitude is 1500m.

Nice work Armando and thanks for showing these.  You have certainly made the wee V1 camera "sing" and your use of a standard FOV lens has helped in yielding very natural looking images.

I like all three, but especially the second image (showing the detailed facade).

Thanks!  It seems to be nice place to visit except in March (I don't like hot weather!).  :)

Good representations of the art work.  I like the color treatment in the street and doorway/gate shots.

I agree with Keith.  The Empty Museum (#2) really caught my attention and I really like how you have done it.  The reflections on the shiny flooring and that subtle splash of colour  in the open door, cool  :) .  I would probably push my printing skills and hang that one.

Some very strong compositions there - puts the images in a class of their own.

Sculpture shots are exceptionally real. I like the doorway shots as well. Thank you for showing us Guadalajara, Armando.
