Teopisca, Chiapas

I decided to journey to Teopisca, Chiapas. Here, I found chickens on a roof and a church on a hill. There were lots of steps, but eventually I made it to the top with breath-taking views of the valley below.

Why do I love to take pictures of churches? You ask. I don't really have a preference to photograph churches, but as it happens, Catholicism plays a very large part in the Mexican life. A town's church is in the center plaza. All festivals happen here, near the church. I walk to churches because aside from holding 5-star real estate throughout the town, they usually are also the most interesting building for miles around.
