Xkipche II - a photo on Flickriver

Xkipche II

One more image from the wonderful ruin of Xkipche, buried in the jungle.

Between 1990 and 1997 and again between 2002 and 2004, a team from the University of Bonn in German and Mexico's INAH (the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia) did thorough and detailed excavations at Xkipche. Then it was left to go back to the jungle.

At the end of November, I took my third trip to Mexico since 2014 to photograph Mayan ruins. I visited a number of ruins not open to the public, overgrown and hidden in the jungle, in order to continue working on my series of infrared images of Mayan Ruins. Many people think that the large ruins (Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Labna, Sayil, etc.) comprise the totality of Mayan civilization in the Yucatan, but there are literally hundreds of smaller or satellite cities spread throughout Yucatan and Campeche. These are the ruins that draw me - beautiful, sometimes remote, ruins, partially overgrown, but still standing after more than a thousand years.

If you'd like to read about this trip, I have a blog post about it that you might enjoy.
