The ruins of a walled city near Tulum, Mexico were occupied by the Mayan people from around 564 AD to 1521 AD. The backdrop of the spectacular turquoise Caribbean Sea sets is apart from the other Mayan ruins in Mexico and is a photographers delight. Because of my architectural background the ruins had a particular interest to me and when I had the opportunity to phtograph Maggie and Ben's destination wedding in Tulum, seeing, and getting some shots, of the ruins was big on my "to do" list.
Check out the iguana in the foreground!
While at the ruins, a French film crew was working with beauty queens on a shoot. I took about 5 shots during a break and Miss Rhone-Alpes (southeast part of France), Virginie Dechenaud, saw the telephoto lens on my camera and started posing, .. never took her eye off. That's a pro model!
This beautiful beach, surrounded by the ruins, is protected by the Mexican govenment for nesting sea turtles.
And this beach at the ruins is not protected.
