ZIPOLITE – life on death beach
Zipolite, in Oaxaca, Mexico, means “beach of death” in some ancient language. That said, if you steer clear of the fierce riptides, it can be a pretty lively place…
Hope you enjoyed.

These are great, Alessandro, supergreat!
A small tribute to the dance of life… Thank you very much, Bente!
il bianco e il nero, grandi, Alessandro.
Grazie, Sandro. Credo un pezzo del commento sia rimasto nella tastiera, ma il senso e’ arrivato a destinazione…
Tutte bellissime, ma la prima è totalmente incredibile, la potrei guardare per ore (non lo farò, però tornerò ogni tanto a rivederla 😉 )
Che commento divertente! Totalmente incredibile – wow. Dov’e’ il tasto “mi piace” per i commenti…? Grazie 🙂
Lots of life here….
…and nice motives.
My favorite is that first flying super-shot!!! Great image – a real winner 🙂
Thanks Truels. That guy doing capoeira jumps almost looks better as a shadow than in person… 🙂
Wonderful images, all so natural. Real gin and tonic sundowner moments!
Oh, some of those sunsets over the Pacific can knock you right out of your plastic chair… (or was it the rum and coke?) 😉
Thank you!
An extraordinarily good series. The I believe I can fly image is worth a large print and should be in an exhibition.
Wow – thanks, Andrew. You make me feel i’ve chosen the right occupation. And that’s no mean feat.
I begin to think that you don’t use a camera. You take pictures directly with your eyes … There’s no other explanation.
Now this is one of the better comments anyone has ever made on my vision – i can’t thank you enough, Covetotop. Grazie di cuore.
So amazing! the shadows are incredible, and the birds and palms – wow!
I love the mood of these; playful, organic and mysterious with a wonderful sense of movement through the set…
So different from the environment you live and photograph in, isn’t it? Thank you dearly, Karen.
amazing pictures, love the ‘I believe I can fly’ and ‘we go together’. Thank you for the comment on my blog 🙂
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a wonderful comment. 🙂
beautiful shadow captures!
Thanks, Christina!
#2 – one of those wonderfully captured moments in time
Just love catching things midair… Thanks, Rudolf!
Great pics!! #1and #5 are strong, it seems Henri Cartier Bresson soul´s were inside you!
Javi from Algeciras, and El chorrito, bolonia.
What a wonderful compliment, thanks, Javi! I’m glad you liked them 🙂
Hope see u again in El Chorrito!! I´ll pay more attention when you grab the camera 😉
