A few images from a trip I did before new years

These are in and around a museum, hosted in a Castle in an area called Chapultepec - meaning hill of the grasshoper - it is a large park in the middle of Mexico city

3. door
5. corridor
are to my liking. Expecially 5. is great in how it reproduces the glass window colors.

# 1 image is not opening on Mongo's computer.

The corridor image is striking and beautiful

#2 and #5 are my favorites.  The slightly flared fountain enhances a dreamy quality.  The stained glass just makes me want to be there!

Thanks for your comments

The stain glass corridor is my favorite spot

Mongo, all images are attachments in ng, not sure why you can not see it

Thanks for the picturess, a very interesting place and really nice perspectives!

I love #4: the contrast between Old (foreground) and New (background) plus the dreamlike quality of the background due to the haze.

P.S. Were all pictures taken with the same camera/ lens combination? Some of the exifs weren't displayed in my browser.

I also love the Stain-glass corridor. Very impressive and nicely photographed.

I had the V1 with the 10mm f2.8 and 18.5 f1.8, these pictures were taken with the 10mm lens, all at f2.8 , except the 3. door where I used f4
The trend to build big impressive buildings in this area seems to be a constant
The haze is mostly pollution

Thanks again for the comments
