wierd shit in the jungle

Las Posas, Xilitla

Extraordinary. A purpose built ruin in a steep jungle valley. Edward
James, an eccentric Englishman built this. Stairs into the jungle, mad
ruins of surreal vision, doorways in the cacophony of plants, riotous
growth, pools, rooms, towers, a giant folly in the jungle of Mexico. We
walked of into the back of the garden trying to find the top of the
waterfall, a small path then dwindling down to a goat trail, up the
side of the mountain. Around a bend and a very steep section appears...
with stairs... then on up over the crest and a doorway, a moon gate in
the jungle. Through the gate and down to the river above the falls,
only to discover a perfect hand laid stone set of stairs on the other
side going?? Huge iridescent blue butterfly's, more butterfly's than
seems possible, bromeliads and vines cover the trees and the outlandish
buildings. Pillars standing in the middle of the jungle a now giant
stands for plants. It is hard to tell the natural from the constructed,
a whole stream with a 200 foot waterfall has been turned into a series
of swimming pools, perfect concrete diving boards built in at just the
right spot...
