Cuernavaca is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Morelos. Established at the archeological site of Gualupita I by the Olmecs, "the mother culture" of Mesoamerica, approximately 3200 years ago. It is also a municipality located about 85 km (53 mi) south of Mexico City on the D-95 freeway.
The city was nicknamed the "City of Eternal Spring" by Alexander von Humboldt in the 19th century. It has long been a favorite escape for Mexico City and foreign visitors because of this warm, stable climate and abundant vegetation. Aztec emperors had summer residences there, and even today many famous people as well as Mexico City residents maintain homes there. Cuernavaca is also host to a large foreign resident population, including large numbers of students who come to study the Spanish language.

Hermosas imagenes y tratamiento.
Large contrasts....first image so abstract and calm....second image so full of life and structure. Very beautiful :)
The first is very unique :-)
The second is amazing !!
They are so different and at the same time a bit similar.I love them both!
LOVE the top photo in its clean simplicity. Wish I was walking that street right now!
I've always been attracted to high contrast photos, the top one is fantastic (as is the bottom one!).
Thank you for the idea of a blurring against my orange wall :)
Must be an interesting place.
Wow the second photo is so magical!
