You are so right and I know that I have a shot of Hector somewhere but cant seem to find it. We had a computer crash 2 years ago and I fear that he was lost then.

I did find this one of the Tropic of Cancer with the shrine in the background.
Two years ago my husband and I went to the Tropic of Cancer sphere for summer solstice. Why, you ask? We wanted to take some photos of the ball with no shadow. I have been looking for those pix and cant find them. And perhaps some of you are asking whats the big deal? When there was no shadow that was in fact the summer solstice....the sun was directly overhead. Or let me see if I can get this right...or when the earth was tilted on its axis the fartherest away from the sun. From that day forward, the earth starts tilting more towards the sun.
If I got that right so anyone can understand it, we are talking miracles.
anyway here's the photo

Hector


I don't have Hector on this computer, but we do have a couple of photos of his unique shrine on our "Baja Wall of Shame" at work. If I am able to post the photo, (I've shrunk it down, but it still may not fit) you'll find 2 pics of Hector's rig in the center of the group of photos shown. If it doesn't post I'll keep trying.

P.>*)))><


Ok, poor quality. Being computer challenged as I am, this is the best I could do. Too bad, cause it's a good photo...

Bajagato/ bajaaddict have a great photo of Hector's shrine. Perhaps they will post it here?

Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed seeing these painted shrines you're posting - especially the rock paintings. I will have to start searching for them on my trips in the future.
