Edificio 1 at Sabacce, again, but in this image I let the gorgeous Chaca trees, growing up around the ruin, take centre stage.

At the end of November, I took my third trip to Mexico since 2014 to photograph Mayan ruins. I visited a number of ruins not open to the public, overgrown and hidden in the jungle, in order to continue working on my series of infrared images of Mayan Ruins. Many people think that the large ruins (Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Labna, Sayil, etc.) comprise the totality of Mayan civilization in the Yucatan, but there are literally hundreds of smaller or satellite cities spread throughout Yucatan and Campeche. These are the ruins that draw me - beautiful, sometimes remote, ruins, partially overgrown, but still standing after more than a thousand years.

If you'd like to read about this trip, I have a blog post about it that you might enjoy.
