Mechanical Wonder

During our trip to Mexico we stayed at Grand Palladium Resort north of Cancun…I’ve mentioned this before.  Inside the resort, there are a number of restaurants, bars and stores all of which have a different theme/design.  One of them is a Café and deli, which was designed as a urban contemporary look that included this giant floor to ceiling mechanical clock.  This clock ran all kinds of pulleys and cables that helped other objects in the Café run/move.  In fact, the mannequin on the bike in the left corner of this photo was run by the clock.  His legs pumped the bike peddles that turned the wheels.  I liked the clock and the entire Café.

Sunrise Over The Beach

What can I say about this photo that is doesn’t say by itself?  Probably nothing!!!  Let’s just sit back and enjoy it. I took this photo, along with a bunch of others, with my drone flying back and forth low along the beach.  I love the colors and feel of it.

Blue Spot

This is the infinity pool at the Grand Palladium Resort north of Cancun Mexico.  I took this photo just after sunrise.  I was one of only a few people who climbed out of bed to see this beautiful scene.  What a great morning….  Can I please go back????

Beach Pool

This will be my 2nd post from Mexico in a row.  I usually mix them up a little.  I took this photo with my drone hovering over the bar looking down this extremely long pool towards the beach.  We had an okay sunrise that morning…but it was way better then the couple days of rain prior to this morning.  We spent many hours at this spot lounging in and out of the pool.  Good times at the Grand Palladium!!!

Grand Palladium

We stayed at this resort north of Cancun recently.  The resort is new, it just opened last October.  That meant that they were still working on some final touches and punch list items.  They also have big plans to expand the complex to a maximum of over 3,000 guest rooms.  It has a great beach unlike most of the resorts in this part of Mexico.  Anyway, we enjoyed it and had a great time with our group (some family and friends). 

I took this photo one evening after dinner just outside the main lobby.  There are three of these weird sculptures in a row with small ponds surrounding them.
