Lettuce Lake

There is a park in Tampa Florida called Lettuce Lake which gets it’s name from a unique vegetation that flourishes in the lake. There are many beautiful water birds including this little guy which I believe is some sort of Grebe.

Mayan Perspective

The Temples of Chichen Itsa may not be as large the Great Pyramids but they were built in a very short period of time. Archaeologists believe that their construction occurred within a single generation and have discovered older temples under the ones visible today.

This is the Royal “Box” on the Ball Field at Chichen Itsa. The culture was advanced enough to have sporting contests that were a cross between Quiddich and soccer. Of course there was no witchcraft but archeologists know that players were beheaded but it is unclear if it was the winners of losers.

Mayan Iguana

There was an iguana that lived near the parking lot at the Westin Lagunamar. Every time I saw him, I either had only my wide angle zoom lens and when I was carrying all my gear or the telephoto lenses he was nowhere to be found. Clever Iguana that one. This one at Chichen Itsa seemed to want to pose for the camera however.

Thousand Columns

The Thousand Columns of Chichen Itza isn’t because there are exactly thousand columns but merely a large number of columns that supported the roof of what is believed to be the ancient market place. The roof may have been made of mortar, wood or thatch. It is believed that these were great meeting halls adjacent to the market.
