Mexico City - the ubiquitous skull and great architecture


Mexico City is wall to wall people - more that the population of Australia live in this one city - waiting to cross where the central mall  intersects with a four lane one way road through the heart of the city.


The architect Luis Barragan designed these triangular towers each one a different width and height (two partially hidden), right in the middle of another huge freeway that runs across the west of the city


How´s this for a creative funeral services bill board?


Finally get to see an Aztec in full dress in the central city square  - seed pods round the legs shake and rattle when they dance. This is what we have tried to imagine in every faint ruin fresco!


Adios Mexico!!! - a complex vibrant country with adventure waiting the willing!
An LA post script to be added.......
