San Pedro Martir Full Moon
(6 votes, average: 2.33 out of 5)
Loading ...San Pedro Martir es located in Baja California Mexico, an incredible almost untouched piece of nature. The interesting thing about this place is its location, Baja California is all desert, pretty much at sea level, but right in the middle of the state a huge mountain chain rises all the way to 3096 m (10,158 ft). The skies at San Pedro Martir are one the cleanest in the world and so, it was selected to place the National Astronomical Observatory. It is run and operated by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
I spent some time living in Ensenada Baja California, only 3 hours away from San Pedro Martir. When we planned the journey we packed everything to camp in cold weather conditions and depart, the road was just stunning, arriving to the junction we started at sea level and an hour later we were at 2885 m (9,465 ft) and it was snowing, a very bizarre experience bearing in mind that we were surfing the day before at Ensenada and suddenly the whole landscape had a white layer.
The moon was full and very bright that night, this is a night shot, the whole picture is very well illuminated by the moon light and the landscape is covered in a thin layer of Snow, absolutely Stunning!

- Orchids galore June 11, 2011I had the chance to visit a hidden place in the middle of the jungle near the pacific coast of México, I am not allowed to say where this place is, but i'll say that is probably the most beautiful house i've ever been. The owner has a passion for orchids and you can see them all over his property, wild orchids everywhere on the woods. I'd neve […]
