Architecture
is the masterly, correct and magnificent play of masses brought together in
light. Our eyes are made to see forms in light; light and shade reveal these
forms; cubes, cones, spheres, cylinders or pyramids are the great primary forms
which light reveals to advantage; the image of these is distinct and tangible
within us without ambiguity. It is for this reason that these are beautiful
forms, the most beautiful forms. Everybody is agreed to that, the child, the
savage and the metaphysician.

Corbusier
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

The Nevado
de Toluca National Park is located southwest of the city of Toluca, Mexico State.
It was decreed a park in 1936, primarily to protect the Nevado de
Toluca volcano, which forms nearly the park’s entire surface and is the fourth
highest peak in Mexico. It is 135 km from Mexico City. The volcano has
been long extinct and has a large crater in which are two shallow
lakes. There are a number of archeological sites in the park, including
the lakes themselves, which contain numerous offerings of copal and other items
that were deposited during the pre-Hispanic period. The park offers
activities such as hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding as well as
limited skiing facilities. Due to its altitude, the summit of the Nevado is
significantly colder than the surrounding area. [Wiki]
