Bernal, is a colonial village in the Mexican state of Querétaro. It was founded in 1642 by spanish soldier Alonso Cabrera. Bernal is located two and a half hours from Mexico City. It has a current population of 2909. 1377 are males and 1532 are females. 1014 persons are counted as Economic Active Population and there are only 630 inhabited homes in town. It is known for its enormous monolith of massive rock, the Peña de Bernal, the third highest on the planet. A natural pyramid believed (by some at least) to impart a cosmic energy. It’s said that Bernal’s residents enjoy extraordinary longevity. Recently, the town of Bernal acquired the title of Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town). The Magical Towns are admitted for being localities that have magic symbolic attributes, legends, history, transcendental facts, that associate in each of his cultural manifestations, and that today mean a great opportunity for tourism. |

judging by these images, particularly the top one with the tiny neon green portal in the rock face, this town certainly deserves its distinction as 'magical'.
Looks like a gorgeous place to visit! Superb post.

Caro Carraoil,

Sometimes your photos frighten me, ordinary photoshop experiments move the mind to other reality here. Bravo.
What a fantastic post Carraol, pictures and words. I'd certainly be attracted to visit for the 'magical attributes' of Bernal. I'd love to know what the effect you used here is, I'm thinking it might be 'watercolours' am I right, whatever, it looks fab on these images.
Una mezcla de fotografia y acuarela, te ha quedado perfecto el trabajo.
Saludos
Wonderful to see this place, I've not heard of it before. Of course you brought your characteristic eye to these images - beautiful.
