Merida street scene

Photographer: Luigi Guarino, Italy

Getting the Shot: "This photo was taken in Merida, Mexico, which is located on the Yucatan peninsula."

The Details: "I liked the colorfully dressed people walking past the pastel-colored building."

We Love: How somehow, the iconic Beatles Abbey Road cover seems translated into a Mexican setting.

Merida was an unexpected highlight on our roadtrip around the Yucatan two yeas ago. We stayed an extra day, actually. It's a small, metropolitan city and the architecture, heavily influenced by French colonial, is stunning. Of course, the food and the people were wonderful. This photograph brings happy memories.

Beautiful photo -- love the Abbey Road link!

Wow! The blue and white color with the intricate design is looking gorgeous and especially the man with the orange t-shirt is like a jewel in the crown. I would like to travel to Mexico.
