An Ajijic Collage

I enjoyed capturing my impressions of Ajijic in this photo collage
of pictures my husband and I took there. Most were taken in Ajijic, but the
one of hillside houses is in nearby Chula Vista, and the statue in the upper
right was in front of a house in that area. The picture of mountains across
Lake Chapala shows some of the
liria or water hyacinth that grows on the lake, in the dark
lines in the water.
The flowers cascading over a wall is a very common sight, year round. The
Americans or Canadians chatting in the walkway next to Ajijic's
plaza is another common sight. There's a strong quality of relaxation
there.
Once I had assembled the photos in Photoshop Elements, I couldn't resist
playing around with some of the filters. "Posterizing" made the
collage brighter and more dream-like than reality, which is how
Ajijic feels to me!
