Mexico City, December 2002. Sandra and I arrived to the ruins of Teotihuacan around 8 a.m. We were among the first to arrive to the site that morning and were immediately attacked by the hawkers trying to sell us stuff. One guy has been tracking us the whole day, offering us a couple of statues, made of obsidian stone - representing the sun & moon gods. We kept lowering the price the whole day and actually ended up buying them just before we left the place. As it turned out, the price was more than reasonable, compared to other deals offered to us later.
The face on this picture belongs to Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent Aztec god. Taken at Teotihuacan, the temple of Quetzalcoatl. Canon EOS 300 w/ Sigma 28-135 lens.
