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

El Beso / The Kiss








A kiss is the touching of one person's lips, which is used as an expression of affection, respect, greeting, farewell, good luck, romantic affection or sexual desire.
Guanajuato is really gorgeous, It´s built on the slopes of a ravine, and many of the houses are painted bright colours - very picturesque. There are a few hills (and steps) to climb, but it´s not as steep as Taxco. The city is a Unesco World heritage site, so there´s no traffic lights.
Incredible, the mayor (panista, right wing) of this beautiful city had forbid kiss in public.

El alcalde de la ciudad de Guanajuato, el panista Eduardo Romero Hicks, anunció este viernes que el bando de policía y buen gobierno —que castiga con multas o cárcel a quienes pidan limosna, digan palabras altisonantes o se besen en la vía pública.

El bando, aprobado por 10 ediles de Acción Nacional (PAN) y uno del Partido del Trabajo (PT), castiga con 36 horas de cárcel o multas de hasta 30 salarios mínimos (más de $ 1 500.00) a quienes pidan limosna, digan palabras altisonantes, vendan en la calle, hagan manifestaciones o se besen.

También incluye castigos a los promotores turísticos que se acerquen a los automovilistas, a quienes no usen los puentes peatonales y a los limpiaparabrisas.

[ Conozcan a sus politicos. Es la mentalidad de la derecha, la regresión, la infelicidad, la frustración, que alternativas plantean a la gente, en lugar de besarse, apedrearse, lapidarse? Lastima de vidas, desperdiciadas en el desamor, en el odio, que triste, gente sin Amor.
Dios, de donde sacan a estas gentes, pobres de sus familias, que infelices deben ser. ]

Cow Parade Leon 2



Exhibit on main square of Leon, Guanajuato. Mexico.
For Art, For Charity, For Fun
CowParade is the world’s largest public art event. From Chicago and New York in 1999 and 2000 to Kansas City and Houston in 2001 and London in 2002, CowParade continues to evolve, not just in size, but in creativity and quality of art. While the cow sculptures remain the same, each city’s artists are challenged by the art from past events, inspired by the cultural influences of their respective cities, and moved by their own interpretation of the cow as an art object.
CowParade is not meant to be high art, however. It is first and foremost a public art exhibit that is accessible to everyone.
