Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, 31 August 2016
.
This follows a journey in two small planes from Flores in Guatemala to Cancun in Mexico via Belize.
.
This appears to be a small Mayan Temple from the modern era, in other words a church.
.
Soon we were flying over the red lakes of forgotten time in what was once the lands of the Maya and really still is.
.
Maybe there was once ancient Mayan irrigation canals here.
.
The land underneath started to be hidden by the golden clouds.
.
And after a while, Belize City hove into sight.
.
Soon we are flying over the Red Sea..
.
Many shallow islands below.
.
Well, the Caribbean Sea, actually.
.
The golden clouds of the late morning.
.
Memories of an asteroid crash nearby long ago flashed up…
.
… and then faded again quite quickly.
.
The weather began to seem almost normal.
.
But then, what’s normal anyway.
.
The edge of Cancun.
.
And yes, that was an infrared post.

We have pink lakes a couple of hours from here…they’re salt lakes. Not as striking as the red lakes though.

Yes, I don’t know whether you are familiar with Murray Fredericks. He took amazing photographs of Lake Eyre using a large format film camera.

Especially like the cloud pic from above. I saw the clouds that colour once as a kid when I was flying with my dad and the sun rose through dense clouds.
