n this photo: http://hdrcreme.com/photos/45704-Caribbean I mentioned to you that I had an interesting story we account the tourist guide. In October when we were in Tulum, Mayan ruins. He told us that the end of the Mayan calendar does not mean the end of the world, only a change of era. Most curious is that on June 21 of each year, on the winter solstice (northern emisferio)the sun appeared just in the window of the temple of the left (the smallest) and June 21, 2012 was the last that appeared in that window. According to The tourist guide, Mayans had prevented this, and built the largest temple in the right and June 21, 2013 (after the change of era), the sun appears in the window of said temple. I made a recreation of the sun on the windows. It is my hope that the change of era, as they said the Maya, means a change in paradigms, and make the world less violent, that emphasizes the solidarity and take care more environment.

Buena historia Ricardo, la recreacion del sol en las ventanas en mi opinión le resta algo al trabajo, creo que solo con las notas estaba mejor.

Estoy de acuerdo contigo Mario, mi esposa me dijo lo mismo, pero ya era tarde para volver atrás, había eliminado los originales.
