Back then, vast areas around Huehuetenango had been denuded of trees for fuel, and men walked many miles carrying huge loads of logs on their backs.Kenneth Cole Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034897745614006325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-54675822676771346342013-11-10T04:27:52.496-07:002013-11-10T04:27:52.496-07:00Hi Chris Afacsinating post.

I look for nature including birds wherever I go. Unfortunately it seems that the colourful ethnic differences usually seem to go with poverty. I love your people photos - when people started dying and wearing bright colours, they got their dyes from plants and ideas about colour combinations from birds!Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-7650265874645933022013-11-10T01:41:57.055-07:002013-11-10T01:41:57.055-07:00Hello my friend Kreesh!

But I miss you way of posting very honestly, just like this one. This is a beautiful post, not necessarily the photos but the text. I fully understand what you said. <br /><br />We just had the Super Typhoon hit parts of the country to total devastation, and with your experiences you can well relate to the conditions of the deprived. It is so sad, yet thanks God, it did not include in its path where I and my family live. Take care.<br />Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-19628384928970016642013-11-09T23:37:18.352-07:002013-11-09T23:37:18.352-07:00Five star is a luxury we have at our disposal now ...Five star is a luxury we have at our disposal now and then just because we are who we are.

My friend takes alot of mission trips to countries like Guatemala. She says that we Americans have no clue how many in the rest of the world live in such poverty. I'm sure she is correct.<br /><br />Great post... Love seeing the people and all of the colors that they wear. Love seeing the birds also.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-18116212236654831262013-11-09T20:14:08.980-07:002013-11-09T20:14:08.980-07:00I could enjoy an occasional 5-star but really pref...I could enjoy an occasional 5-star but really prefer to be around the 'real' people of a place. Unfortunately, for most of us, travel is short lived, whatever we search for, and that can put us in a rush. You got some excellent captures on the chase.
