Cancun, Mexico

Challenge #1 in the Be Veg, Go Green 2Save The Planet ! series. Hosted by lasm.

Challenge has finished

In December 2010, the world's hopes for a solution to our planetary emergency focused on Cancun as the site of the COP16 summit. Policy makers around the world were encouraged to adopt the organic vegan solution. Cancun also played host to the Greenest Heroes Gala, a collateral event which received extensive coverage on Supreme Master Television. Show us the pride of Cancun, and its pristine natural beauty. Suburbs will be allowed but description must identify the location clearly. Photos of Omni and Makoba hotels will earn extra merits =D.

On the southern end of Cancun (directly across from the Omni Hotel) was this broken up dock. Barely able to get out far enough on it to put the sun behind that house.
