A good cup of tea begins far from your kitchen. Milk, Sugar? How many lumps? This photo comes from a Kodak 135 transparency shot from a Yashica ELECTRO 35CC camera, scanned by an HP Scanjet G4050 and digitally restored with Photoshop.

Indeed, the root cause of the slow deterioration of the Mayan temple cities within the tropical selva of Petén was the very forest that grows there.

For a week there was a conspiracy brewing. A small group of young foreign adventure travelers camping at the entrance of Tikal, myself included, planned to enter the ruined Mayan temple city and pass the night in the Grand Plaza pyramids to observe the solstice during the full moon. Propping my camera on a stela and opening up the aperture to maximum, I set the 10-second shutter-release timer to record the moment. The full moon was so overwhelmingly bright that that the exposure was seamless. Note: Although entering the ruins was technically forbidden at that hour we were very respectful and did no harm. I recommend viewing large to bear witness to our celebration.

Dawn greets the restored Acropolis of Tikal. As light breaks, a symphony of bird calls crescendo from the dense tropical forest from which this long abandoned Mayan site has been reclaimed.

From the heights of the pyramid of Edzna is an overlook of it's Mayan ball court. There were no goals scored on this afternoon in a match which by all accounts was a to-the-death struggle . . .

The five story staircase leading up the main pyramid of the Edzna Mayan temple complex has been half-restored. According to archaeologists this site was occupied by 600BC and like many Mayan sites, it's decline and abandonment remain a mystery.

In one of my first "Narrated Tour" jobs I showed a small group from Mexico City around the rainforest on the banks of Agua Azul, where I had been camping for several weeks. My 'pay' was an additional week of food supplies and 1/4 bottle of tequila (for medicinal purposes).

The figure-pillars holding up the floor of this building are very impressive. This image, shot from a Yashica ELECTRO 35CC, is from a 35mm Kodak slide and was scanned by an HP Scanjet G4050, digitalized with Photoshop.

On an adventure in México long ago I sought relief from the oppressive tepid tropical heat smothering lowland Chiapas. "Head for Agua Azul", I was told. This is the view from a hammock that I strung in a tiny embankment next to the river. I camped here for 3 weeks. This image came from an old Kodak transparency shot by a Yashica ELECTRO 35CC, scanned by an HP Scanjet G4050 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.

In the mid 1970s Agua Azul attracted a small community of overland travelers from around the world. Small embankments next to the river served as campsites. This image is near to where I strung my hamaca for 3 weeks. Thirty minutes walk away was a tiny Mayan settlement where one could buy rice, beans, chiles and tortillas.
