Monterrey downtown, Barrio Antiguo
Was apparently quite an artsy, fun, alternative neighborhood till it fell to the wrong hands a year or so ago...

Chipinque
Lovely afternoon walk, saw Monterrey and surrounding cities from atop, quite spectacular...followed by a meaty dinner (of course) and aching legs for the following week...
I saw light
Whenever I see 'light' in this type of composition I feel I might be at the lucky moment when I shall gain sudden wisdom, alas this turned out not be wisdom though, just showed me very clearly that there were another 500 meters to climb...tch, and this could have been one of those philosophical moments in one's life!
