The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Shadows and Smiles


Piñatas for sale. A piñata is a brightly-colored paper container filled with fruit, candy and/or toys. It is generally suspended on a rope from a tree branch or ceiling and is used during celebrations. A succession of blindfolded, stick-wielding children try to break the piñata in order to collect the sweets (traditionally sugarcane) and/or toys inside of it. It has been used for hundreds of years to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas and Easter. The Spanish word piñata comes from the Italian word pignatta, a pinecone-shaped clay pot (from pigna, "pinecone"). Although the piñata originated in Mexico, many cultures around the world embrace the tradition. In Iraq and Afganistan the exploding piñata is quite popular. [Wiki]
