A cross with a view
My kids sent these lovely photos from Zihuatanejo (pronounced zeewha-tan-ay-hoe” and often shortened to “Zihua”) Mexico.
The once sleepy fishing village was made famous in “The Shawshank Redemption,” when the Tim Robbins' character Andy Dufresne escapes prison and heads straight to his dream paradise, Zihuatanejo. Because of the movie this small town is now a tourist destination.
This vantage point, with a wonderful view of the protected waters of Bahía de Zihuatanejo includes a cross with a legend. It seems that long ago a family drove off a cliff on their way down to the beach and they were miraculously saved. They had this cross built as an offering to celebrate their good fortune.
The color of the steps changes dramatically from pink to terra cotta as the sun gets lower in the sky.
And I thought a good way to conclude this series of photos was with a shadow!
We hope you enjoyed these photos!
Wow, what a beautiful place♥️
A cross with the added view of the sunset makes the atmosphere more calm and enjoyable.
It is a beautiful view!

Amazing shot the reflection of light on the stairs is magical, the view is also very beautiful. Seeing this picture I immediately imagine how peaceful it is to be there at sunset.

Wow, beautiful place
It is, isn't it?
It is beautiful place.
Oh wow great shots. All the terra cotta and palm trees make me miss Mexico and want to be back. A little escape during a cool day where spring is still fighting to get its feet down!
Thanks! Mexico especially looks good as we wait for spring in the northern parts of the world!
Cool, they got some shades that could enter the contest.
Too bad I can't enter! 😁

What a beautiful place! I used to love going to Mexico, but since the whole cartel business popped up I haven't been there for years. That sure is a really nice place!
Yeah I worry each time they go down there, but what can I say. I haven't been there in years either.
A place that looks quite touristy in the photos. Although the name piques my curiosity, and I have trouble pronouncing it correctly, even though my native language is Spanish (personal laughter). 😅👍✝️
I get the impression that it is touristy now! Nice hotels and great restaurants.
The way to cross looks so spiritually positive and beautiful and the shots of the sunset also are beautiful. 🫶🏼😊
Thanks! The golden light really looks wonderful in the photos.
The photos are really amazing. It was nicely captured and the shadows adds beauty in it. ❣
Thanks so much!
The wonderful abundance of this beautiful city is a joy to behold. Visiting such places with your kids is really fun. But there is an opportunity to visit the beach. The beautiful rays of light allow a view of the honey. But I like pink color very much. Although the stairs look very beautiful but there are traditions in these stairs.
It is beautiful!
Yes my pleasure
The colours of Mexican architecture always amaze me. These pink/orange walls looks great.
I agree! I love how the color changes in the light.
Great photos!
Great photographer!
Wonderful photos. Love the shots of the cross and tie in to Shawshank Redemption. I love that movie.
The chemistry between Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins is awesome. I watched it recently and had forgotten the disturbing, violent, real portrayal of prison life. I guess I have a selective memory. Or maybe I could just watch Morgan Freeman in anything and enjoy it 🙂
Thanks! I need to re-watch it. It has been years since I last saw it.
