Leonora Carrington at Reforma Avenue




"The Shadow of the Ahuehete" ("La Sombra del Ahuehete")
















"All Seats Taken" ("Ya no hay lugar")






"GoatSnake" ("SerpienteChivo")














And my favorite, due to horrible fascination it inspires me, "Cuculati 1, 2 and 3", day and night shots.




Don't they look absolutely creepy? They give me goosebumps when I look at them every dawn on my way to work, but that is their most fascinating quality: you just can't stop looking at them.

The rest of my pictures will be uploaded as soon as I verify their titles.

Enjoy!

Trigger happy summer

I had promised kyklops to try to share some of the things my city has. Right now, there is a public exhibit of some of Leonora Carrington's sculptures down at Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, so I went down and took some pictures. They are a little shaky and the format is not great for two reasons: we (that is, my husband and yours truly) had escape the storm that was about to pour down on us, and I haven't been able to acquire the additional memory card my camera requires to store better resolution. It has been a bloody duel between quantity vs. quality. Here they go.

This one is titled "Manta-butterfly" ("Mariposa Mantarraya").


This one is "The Dream of Fire" ("El sueño del Fuego"), back and front.

















This one is "The Mother of Wolves" ("La Madre de los Lobos").

My favorite, the creepiest ones, will be saved for another post. Hope you enjoy them.

So, kyklops, finally I found out how to upload images and link text (yupii!!) Establishing a linked photo gallery comes next.
