I forgive you if you say these colors are not possible in life. The perception of color is a trick of our eyes. It is just wavelengths of energy, converted to a form we perceive and to explain to other people, put names (and numbers) on.  You should know that this is HDR, but not using what has emerged as the common technique. This photo only uses intensified colors from the record the digital sensor provides in one image, not the sum of several often used. In that sense, I would call it expanded range and it is a technique that for me, provides a result that is more in line with the feelings that attract me to these scenes.  It is also infinitely flexible – which means in realizing an image, I can make it do what I want it to.

So, don’t spend your time, walking the streets to Morelia, to find this scene. It exists, but in this form, only in my mind and this photo.
