Because I am working on the directory for San Martin Tilcajete, I am fortunate to be near Ocotlán de Morelos and can visit on a whim. It was the home town of the famous artist, Rodolfo Morales and he was the patron of a great many cultural and municipal projects.Ocotlán is a fairly large pueblo with a great market on Fridays when I normally visit. On non-market days it is tranquil and dynamic at the same time. I was lucky to get these shots of the church with no one in them. On most days this is a favorite destination for both locals and tourists because of the beauty of the church and the surrounding park.
As one approaches
The colors begin to pop
And then the details emerge
The entrance offers
An incredible carved screen which leads one into the church.

Once again - striking resemblance with another church across the globe, from a different culture...in my native St. Petersburg, St. Nicholas Naval Cathedral... If you google and see the pictures- the colors, the cupola, the intricate architectural detail, the gold used for decoration and accents on the building etc., etc..
I am so now very puzzled how to explain those similarities....
