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

F1 Roadshow


The ING Renault F1 Team Roadshow had touch down in Mexico City for a spectacular show in the streets of the city.


Mexico City -Reuters- El piloto italiano Giancarlo Fisichella y el brasileno Nelson Piquet Jr con sus bolidos de la F1 invadieron el domingo las calles de la ciudad de Mexico en el RoadShow que se realizo por primera vez en el continente americano.
En el RoadShow se adaptan las calles de la ciudad para realizar un pequeño circuito de F1 con todas las especificaciones de seguridad y control que exigen las normas internacionales.
Con una asistencia de aproximadamente 250 mil espectadores, los pilotos alcanzaron velocidades cercanas a los 200 kilometros por hora y realizaron donas en cada una de las tres glorietas que comprendio el circuito.
-Estuvo increible, sobre todo las vueltas que daban los coches y el ruido de los motores,- dijo Fernando Díaz, un niño de 8 años que vio el espectaculo sobre los hombros de su padre.
El escenario del espectaculo fue la elegante avenida Paseo de la Reforma.

Las ciudades en donde se ha realizado el RoadShow son Madrid, Moscu, Estambul, Lyon, Roma, Sevilla, Varsovia, Johannesburgo y Rotterdam, que tiene el record de asistencia con medio millon de personas en sus calles.
-Para mi, que he participado en RoadShows en varias ciudades del mundo, este ha sido el mejor circuito,- menciono Fisichella al final del evento, tras mojar con champana a los asistentes.

Viva la Vida!


Exhibition at the San Francisco Atrium, Historic Center.


Frida Kahlo[1](July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) was a Mexican painter who is now the best-known artist Latin America has produced. She painted using a vibrantly colored style which was influenced by the indigenous culture of Mexico as well as European influences which include Realism, Symbolism, and Surrealism. Many of her works are self-portraits symbolically expressing her own pain. Kahlo was married to and influenced by the Mexican painter of murals Diego Rivera and shared his Communist views. Although she has long been recognized as an important painter, public awareness of her work has become more widespread since the 1970's. Her "Blue" house in Coyoacán, Mexico City is a popular museum, donated by Diego Rivera after her death in 1954. From Wiki.
