With the big match behind us, today was spent enjoying the city of Mazatlan. Nicolai joined his teammates for sightseeing and shopping while I did a solo trek of more than 10 miles focused on photography. I walked from the old city center out to the El Faro Lighthouse which sits atop a 500-foot-high hill. The climb was not too strenuous and the views from the top were well worth the effort. At sunset, I positioned myself along the Malecon (the oceanfront promenade running 4 miles from the Old City to the tourist hotel-laden Golden Zone) at the spot where local cliff divers make the death-defying plunge for tips. I only had a chance to photograph one dive but had planned how I would use a rapid-fire sequence and Photoshop to create a composite image featuring the entire dive sequence.
