The view from the Torre Latinoamericana (literally, "Latin-American Tower") is a building in downtown Mexico City, Mexico. Its central location, height (183 m or 597 ft; 45 stories) and history make it one of Mexico City's most important landmarks. It was also the city's tallest building from 1956.

This high building is Torre Latino Mirador (view point), Mexico, where I took these photos:

Palacio de Bellas Artes (The Palace of Fine Arts) is the premier opera house of Mexico City. The building well known for its extravagant Beaux Arts exterior its murals by Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco.

The Palacio has two museums: the Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Museo de la Arquitectura.

Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe is a celebrated Catholic icon of the Virgin Mary also known as the Virgin of Guadalupe . According to the traditional account, the image appeared miraculously on the cloak of Juan Diego, a simple indigenous peasant, on the hill of Tepeyac near Mexico City on December 12, 1531. The icon is on display in the Basilica of Guadalupe in the same locality and is regarded as Mexico's most popular religious and cultural image.

The Virgin of Guadalupe is a symbol of significant importance to Mexican Catholics and has been given the titles of "Queen of Mexico and Empress of the Americas" and 'Patroness of the Americas". In 1999 the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe was the most visited Catholic shrine in the world.

The Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral (Spanish: Catedral Metropolitana de la Asunción de María) is the largest and oldest cathedral in the Americas and seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mexico. It is situated atop the former Aztec sacred precinct near the Templo Mayor on the northern side of the Plaza de la Constitución in downtown Mexico City.

The cathedral was built in sections from 1573 to 1813 around the original church that was constructed soon after the Spanish conquest of Tenochtitlán, eventually replacing it entirely.

The streets of one of the biggest cities of the World.

The nostalgia to Mexico

2009-12-05T21:51:00.001+05:00

I want to continue to write about Mexico with by my recent photo-work. I wanted to recreate the hot spirit of Mexico at my cold and snow Russia.

For my Mexican naturmort I have bought the Argentina lemon :)), a hot peppers which reminded me the mexican Chile. For a full picture it is necessary "tortillas", is the corn flat cakes, but in Russia it cannot be found. So I have put there a small handful of a corn, of the beans that so loved by Mexicans and a bottle called "Mezcal" from Oaxaca, it's very similar a tequila. Ok, my mexican still-life is ready!

Ооо, I didn't mention a beautiful background, it is lovely Picture made by the colorful threads that I have bought in Oaxaca. It is made by Indians in Oaxaca, Mexico. And there is small package that contains salt and chile. When I have cut lemon which is rare fruit in Russia, the pleasant smell started to envelop me as though sending myself again to Mexico. And this second I just wanted to leave all here and to fly again to Mexico right now.

This photo-naturmort I devote to my dear Mexico :).

LAS POZAS DE JAMES, Xilitla, San Luis Potosí Mexico, June, 2009

Las Pazas de James, Xilitla, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, June, 2009

The first place that I have seen is SURREALISTIC GARDEN, but it is look like a jungle from a old fairy tale. Englishman Edward James has built an astounding showcase of surrealistic structures in the lush jungles of north-east Mexico. Leaving England in 1940 with the intention of making the United States his home, instead he found himself in 1944 moving to Mexico with the idea of creating a "Garden of Eden".

We went through the garden at Laz Pozas starting off with path guiding us through a giant ring-gate and along the Walkway of the Serpents. We climbed upward, passing under and through various phantasmagoric structures, winding pathways and the stairs to the towers rising out of the ferns and other vegetation that grew closely on all sides. We are were climbing to flat areas.

These platforms afforded us incredible views to the sculptures rising into the sky like ancient ruins, the spiral structures and stairways. We walked onto a bridge that leads nowhere and then followed a small downward path to see a stone watershed channel with the crystal clear, turquoise water. This is the realm of fantasy embodied in reality.
