Chamula Carnival, Chiapas, Mexico

All photos in this album courtesy of friend Snooky Robins & Bettina. With penalties for taking photos here quoted as possible $100 fine, jail time and loss of camera a threat, I put my camera away; however my new friend and ex-industrial espionage photographer decided to take a chance and grab some covert shots. They came out quite nice after a little "leveling" by photoshop. Thanks Snooky & Bettina, I am certain my friends will enjoy!

The Chamula area is the last glimpse anyone may enjoy of the remaining indigenous culture who are the ancestors of the ancient Maya inhabitants of Mexico.
