It is Puebla Mexico, the church is in Cholula, a town outside Puebla the volcano is called Popocateptl , or Popo

I shared the image here http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,6348.15.html

What a great image Armando.
And Popocateptl is legendary isn't it?

As a kid, I dreamed of one day being able to walk near volcanoes (but mainly the deep red flowing lava, than the spewing dust & ashes type!)
I've been to Iceland once but I think they'll keep the tourists well away from anything really good. But I hear Etna's open for business again....

French fries
Excellent showcase  ;D But the paper cone aka "cornet de frites" seems to have changed into  a flat paper with the "panini" (the sauces on the board are quite telling :o )

Went yesterday to visit Dalí´s museum-theater in Figueras. It is truly amazing. Unbelievable. Many masterpieces from the same person. This is one of the less know Dalí´s jewels: Dafne. He did those late in his live while already ill. They say he will make the design and some other parties, like Swarovski, made the actual piece. The exhibition was mind-blowing. Here, one piece.

  It was taken with the d750 and 28mm f2. Focusing in live view and handheld. A Z6 would have been perfect for the task :)

Beautiful Paco.  Reminds me of Dali's work on Tarot -cards.  Which is also very impressive (and not known by many)
