Far from Home, a photo from Quintana Roo, Southeast

Photographer's Note

After having traveled through Brazil for more than 9000 km at the beginning of this year, I see that I could have reached Mexico by car! I found this sign in the eco-archaeological thematic park of Xcaret, of which I don't have many pictures for having preferred to enjoy the water attractions of the place.

Hi Alexandre. The pile with the many signs is truly an eye-catching first class. When you see the signs, you get a feel for distances. A good shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Alexandre,
interesting and colourful destination boards. I didn't know that Alaska is closer to Mexico than Brasil. I especially like the contrast to the blue background. Fine compositon, I like it.
Best wishes,

Ol� Alexandre,
a diferen蓷 � que esta dist滱cia � em linha reta, de carro acredito que � bem mais que 9.000Km. Uma placa bem interessante essa, e as cores ficaram 鏒imas.

Davvero originale come foto.
Mi piace il contrasto cromatico tra le varie frecce di indicazione tutte colorate.

TFS!

leonorkuhn (16237) 2009-10-19 4:15

Ol� Alexandre,

S緌 realmente divertidas estas placas, a gente nem sabe se elas apontam realmente para o norte ou sul. O que vale � a brincadeira e pensar que o mundo � muito grande mesmo mas sempre vale a pena procurar ver o que est� um pouco al幦 do horizonte.

Abra蔞s
Leonor

adramad (72622) 2009-10-20 6:54

Hola Alexandre.
Los caminos recorren el mundo y a la vista de esta placa informativa pareceria que desde alli parten muchos y diversos. Una curiosa y atractiva fotografia en esa composicion plena de luz y color con ese atractivo mar y cielo como fondo.
Saludos.
