Description

I want to dedicate this one to Sven Samuli....who was so kind to dedicate one to me...

Hi Samuli.....I took this one a few hours ago....at top of the left rock of Devil's Gate....I had to climb a long way of steps...to get there and find some "snow" for you....

Even if I am runner ....and my runs are up to 2 hours long....the muscles you use to climb stairs are different....and I have to stop several times to catch my breath...I am sure Eremita wouldn't make it.....thanks God because he probably would take a better picture from here....

From here you can turn around a have a wonderful view to everywhere.....the clift where I am standing is only about 10 feets wide ( 3 meters )....and I was afraid the wind was going to blow me down the clift....It was so strong that I had to seat down sometimes....I had troubles to stand still...I am going to be posting more views from this same place.....because I think is beautiful.....The volcano at the background is the same Chichontepec volcano....and as you can see the peak is covered with "snow"......
And as you can see the road ends right there.....Many legends about how many people have jump from here....or "forced" to jump...

Thanks Samuli for your photo ...I hope you like this one...

The view is really beautiful Carlos

Our country is really flat, the highest point in our city is the church.
Perhaps some day I climb all the stairs to take pictures of the view

Being someone who hates heights, I'm glad you took this and not me!!

Beautiful shot! I might crop a little from the bottom, but minor point.

Thanks you all...And Gary ...ThruMyEyez....I am also afraid of heights.....I feel that the void grabs me and I feel that I am going to jump....I just don't look down...I did crop some foreground....maybe I should have cropped more...Thanks for your coments...

Beautiful composition - that, as already statded could be improved by cutting off a bit of the bottom - as well as colours - dunno what to say more than "great work as usual"
