¡Hola Jorge!
This is a perfectly shot view of the top of the Torre Latinoamericana, which emphasizes its iconic presence in Mexico City. The clouds add to the iconic quality of this image. I am reminded of how revolutionary the architectural design of this building was in the 1950s, ahead of its time. It rests on rolling pillars underground, which allow it to gently sway with the motions of the earth, preventing it from toppling. In this way it survived the terrible earthquake of 1985 unscathed.
Gracias Jorge por esta foto que nos muestra el valor icónico de la Torre Latinoamericana.
Saludos,
José
