It's not a part of life I enjoy. That man had a painful death and I would find it painful as a family member to look at how painfully he died. I don't mind seeing old people who've lived a long and full life and died peacefully surrounded by love. I don't think it's death that's taboo...I think it's our morbid facination with suffering that is disturbing. It always bothers me that people want to look at the carnage of car accidents.<br /><br />Anyway...Your first photos are lovely and the one of the double wires look like old eyeglasses.Lisa's RetroStylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970342964643400163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-71529294083463566692010-10-17T19:03:05.638-07:002010-10-17T19:03:05.638-07:00All of those wire shots are so fun - thanks for sh...All of those wire shots are so fun - thanks for sharing!!

I am fascinated by the shadows (and silhouettes) created by electrical wires and structures here in Canada so was delighted to see that you are interested in the same thing in Mexico.<br /><br />I'm also fascinated by how cultural our ideas of death are.EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361177678919142183.post-70168200550236985622010-10-16T21:58:03.806-07:002010-10-16T21:58:03.806-07:00I first thought you had circled something on your ...I first thought you had circled something on your photo!

They are certainly much more realistic than Norte Americanos.<br /><br />Kay, AlbertaKay L.

Even the streets of Puerto Vallarta have many loops and whorls of spare cable. All you have to do is look up! I'll be in Guadalajara in December and Puebla in March.
