The monument of Piplia was erected in the honor of Juan Jose de los Reyes Martinez, for his heroic role in the independence struggle of 28th Sept’1810. This monument is built on top of a mountain and is visible from every corner of the capital city of Guanajuato. You have to take a rope car to reach the place. Once there you just cant stop yourself from admiring the breath taking view of the entire city.

The monument itself is a fine piece of art. I wonder how they managed to install such a huge pice of stone on top of a mountain.

One more from “frame-within-a-frame” genre. I clicked this window in the lobby just outside my hotel room. The view outside was quite good and the dark broad frame of the window was making it all the more distinct and noticeable. At first glance, it actually looked like a painting hung on the wall. Only when I observed the movement outside, I realized that it actually was a window.

We just entered the hotel to check-in when I observed this fancy sign board hung just in front of the reception. The beautiful combination of colors and pictures made it quite attractive to the eye. My first reaction was to take out the camera and click it.

Unusual show of artistry in small not so “unsual” things.

We were driving towards the city of Guanajuato when I observed these dark orange colored fields on the sides. These patches of orange, scattered randomly among vast green fields were looking very attractive. I got a chance to click it when we took a pit stop at one of the toll-booths.
