Default Petrified Waterfalls

Hi guys, I want to share with you a nice trip I had to Oaxaca, Mexico.
During this trip I visited an amazing place called "Hierve el Agua" (Boiling Water) that is full with water pools that despite the name are filled with cool water and some petrified waterfalls

DSCN2161

Here comes the waterfall

DSCN2172

Another pool, I liked the tree at the end of it

DSCN0591

Finally back to the city of Oaxaca I took this night picture of a church

DSCN2194

I hope you enjoyed the pictures

I like the clouds in the first shot and the patterns in the water are cool. The waterfall is amazing how it stands out from the surrounding landscape. Great perspective of the pool and tree and I really like the night shot. Well done on these great shots.

Thanks, the water moved to a different path down the mountain, the the tree used a part with no mineral deposits on the ground to grow, sadly the tree didn't looked pretty much alive
