My Winning End of Year photos from 2023 Camera Club Competition

We are a small camera club, but it was very nice to have some winning photos in the End of Year competition 2023 (competing winning photos from earlier in the year).  Frankly, I think everyone in our club is quite talented and they all deserve recognition for their photography and their hard work helping with club activities.  See our website, https://www.smccc.org for more information about the club.

Yucatan Mexico Izamal February 5, 2018

The yellow painted city of Izamal east of Merida is known for several pyramids and the Convento de San Antonio de Padua.  We didn't have time to take a horse and carriage ride around the city and past the pyramids, but I did get some lovely photos of them.


These artistic town signs were in several places we visited.

I loved the lines and simplicity of this shot.

This courtyard is so large that Pope John Paul II used it for a gathering.

A statue of Pope John Paul II sits in the large courtyard.

This stained glass window was in the back of the balcony.


Beautiful embroidered dresses






Take a horse and carriage ride?
