Howdy All,

Going through the Archives again, this one from Mexico City,





Each day a different community or city comes to the BASILICA OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, MEXICO CITY to pray and ask for Blessing for the upcoming year.

Very cool, indeed. They seem like ghosts.

Thanks Kevin, it was a very moving Ceremony, these folks traveled a long
way to give thanks, and be Blessed.

Morning Anthony,

Thanks, I am sure their Ritual Dress was from the earliest times of the City.

I love the picture, Craig. I'm amused at the girl on the right...the lone person wearing any sort of hat.

Hi Craig,
I really like this shot.
It really is cool like everyone is saying.
I have to tell you though I really want to see their faces.

Howdy Tom,

Thanks very much, it was just such a surreal experience,

we'd never seen anything like this before, and was just

wide-eyed trying to take it all in.

Howdy Liz,

Thanks very much, we'd tried to get a little closer but did not
want to intrude, and the more we looked we noticed the men's ritual dress had long veil type things over their hats that hid their faces from view.

Howdy Mary,

Thanks, I do love the look and feel that the IR gives, especially with
interesting subjects like this that already have a different look and feel to
it.
