Can you tell us anything more about this photo? When was it taken? This place is on my bucket list.

Here is a photo of maybe the same area, taken by Choral Pepper in the 1960s (arrived by helicopter). Near San Francisco de la Sierra, the head of San Pablo Canyon...

Ken,

I like that photo very much. The long shadows add so much.

Thanks for posting.

It was taken in 2001 on the road between Mex. 1 and the cave paintings at Cueva Raton (San Francisco de la Sierra), about 30 miles north of San Ignacio.

I second that. I have a photo I took from that same section of road on a clear sunny day in 2013 and its not nearly as dramatic. The drive up was a lot easier then 2001 too. :-)

I think that it's possible that when you developed your photo the negative was reversed? I was just looking at mine and the horizon is flipped. Going to see if I can post mine.

Wow, our photos seem to be at the same place and they are definitely reversed! I was shooting Velvia slides back then, and processing them myself. Certainly between the processing, scanning, and copious quantities of wine I could have reversed the image. I will try to find the slide and see which side has the emulsion

I will let you know.

I was wondering the same thing when I compared the Coral Pepper photo that DK posted.

Red wine or white? I shot mine going up the road. Did you shoot yours going down? :saint:

I like your photo way more then mine. I may have to appropriate it. :biggrin:

Red. It's all yours. Reverse at will! Oops, forgot. I was going up the road (east)
