I just passed the 10,000 photos mark on Flickr. Here’s photo #10,000 from Guanatos Gwyn’s Flickrstream…

It’s from last Sunday morning’s impromptu Flickrtour in Guadalajara looking at the architecture of GDL’s own Luis Barragán in the Chapultepec area. Here’s the full set. I’d have rigged #10,000 to be a bit more interesting had I known… but I’ve uploaded worse and no mistake.

Day 4, involved the Tianguis Cultural, El Rincon de los Becerra where José got his mobile phone nicked/misplaced and a well nice birthday/bienvenido/it´s a Saturday party round Karla´s new mansion.
I spent the night at Amour Fou and headed straight for the Flickrtour a few hours later…

Day 5, Flickrtour, Chelas, Siesta, Pozole, Lucha Libre!, La Cava…

Anyway, many thanks to my 157 contacts, 52 friends and 2 family members and all of you who’ve encouraged my amateur photo shennanigans along the way with your comments, testimonials and kind words. Life would not be the same without Flickr, I’ve met so many great people and spend a good while every day enjoying their photography. Here’s to the next 10,000. Cheers!

Here is my “most interesting” set, and here’s the least interesting. Flickr’s the most fun $24.95 can buy… Enjoy!

What a week. I’m now catching up with all manner of business and starting to look at some of the 500 odd photos. Guadalajara, Mexico was absolutely brilliant. Since life moves pretty slowly round here in Alameda, I’m just going to serialise what I did day by day last week with accompanying photos. Tuesday: Arrival, Jose picked me up from the airport, my old mobile phone blinked back to life, got some keys cut, the bed inflated, and went for a quiet night in Cafe Colibri, Las Fuentes…

Wednesday: Checked me emails at J’s school, then headed straight for the centre and had molletes’n'coffee at Cafe D’Val, shoved the fisheye onto me camera and wandered round for a few hours via the usual centro historico landmarks such as the fountains, San Juan de Dios, La Fuente and suchlike. When it got too hot around 2ish, I headed back to Jose’s and we went round Javier’s to watch Atlas lose 3-0, then on to Fernando’s then on to Bar Scratch, then La Cava, then back to crash on Javier’s sofa…

Close my eyes and I can almost taste the tacos…

Probably not much blogging over the next week as I’ll be trying to cram in as much Mexican goodness as possible in the heart of Jalisco… Email me if you’re up for catching up while I’m around. Tuesday-Monday…
