La pequeña ciudad de Izamal en la Península del Yucatán, reúne a principios del mes de Diciembre a miles de feligreses para celebrar la fiesta de la Virgen del Yucatán, o Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.
Izamal se la conoce por la Ciudad de las tres Culturas, ya que tiene una gran herencia de la prehispánica cultura Maya, de la época colonial y del México contemporáneo. También tiene el sobrenombre de "La Amarilla", The Yellow City, ya que todas sus casa están pintadas de ese color. Color con el que también está pintado el Convento de San Antonio, el centro neurálgico de la festividad de la Virgen, que como hemos mencionado, reúne a miles de devotos para rendir culto a Virgen.
Estas fotos fueron tomadas en el año 1998, con película diapositiva Fujifilm Provia 100, una cámara Canon EOS3 y un objetivo 16-35 f:2.8

The small town of Izamal on the Yucatan Peninsula gathers thousands of parishioners in early December to celebrate the feast of the Virgin of the Yucatan, or Our Lady of the Conception.
Izamal is known as the City of Three Cultures, as it has a great heritage of pre-Hispanic Mayan culture, from the colonial era and contemporary Mexico. It also has the nickname of "La Amarilla", The Yellow City, as all its houses are painted in that colour. This is also the colour of the Convent of San Antonio, the nerve centre of the festivity of the Virgin, which, as we have mentioned, gathers thousands of devotees to worship the Virgin.
These photos were taken back in 1998, with Fujifilm Provia 100 slide film, a Canon EOS3 camera and a lens Canon 16-35 f:2.8 lens.
