Looking East from The Latin American Tower

I am not doing too well. Got a dose of what I would call the worst stomach infection in the 15 years I've resided in Mexico. I guess you could call it Moctezumas' Revenge.

Consequently, I have not been able to post as frequently nor visit many of your cool photoblogs. I hope to get through this soon.

If you like, visit my blog Ephemeral Visions for more of my work.

I'm sorry to hear that! I hope you get better soon, Luis.
That cityscape seems to go on forever. I always enjoy your posts, the images are so far removed from life here and this one takes my breath away with the vastness of it all!

Get well soon! The image is great! Looks almost aerial and the eye stretches so far...

Tremendous vista and such a clear sky over the city! Sorry to hear you've been laid low - those bugs can be nasty... drink plenty of Sidral, and I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

Me gusta mucho el contraste que le has dado a la imagen y la profundidad hasta el horizonte que tiene. Esas nubes al fondo adornan muy bien la imagen.
Saludos.
