VIVID IMAGES

This beautiful picture book has a short introduction on the history of the country, but the photographs speak for themselves. Mexico is a country of impressive cities and stunning landscapes, colourful birds and flowers, sun-bleached villages and luxurious holiday resorts like Acapulco. The brilliant colour photographs capture both the atmosphere and the individuality of a country that is so well worth visiting. The most breathtaking double page is that with photos of the interior and exterior of the magnificent Church of San Francisco Acatepec, a masterpiece of baroque art and architecture covered with "azulejos" which glint like porcelain in the sunshine. Other fascinating pics include those of the archaeological sites of Monte Alban, Mitla, Uxmal and Chichen Itza. All aspects of life in Mexico are covered - modern cityscapes, people at work and at play, holiday resorts, monuments, highways and nature in all its glory. Altogether 64 pages of colour photography ensure an enjoyable armchair-visit to Mexico.
