This Photo of the Day, taken today, comes from flickr member Doug Murray and shows "A birds eye view of Andador Real de Guadalupe in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico."
Chiapas is home to ancient Mayan ruins of Palenque, Yaxchilán, Bonampak, Chinkultic and home to one of the largest indigenous populations in the country with twelve federally recognized ethnicities.
Chiapas was also the city where a massacre in 1997 left 45 people dead in an armed conflict that began three years earlier in southern Mexico after Zapatista rebels pushed for more rights for indigenous people.
Upload your best shots to the Gadling Group Pool on Flickr. Several times a week we choose our favorite images from the pool as Photos of the Day.
