[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture during the Mexican independence celebrations which are held on the 15th of September.
People usually gather at the main plaza (Zocalo) and wait for the mayor to shout "viva Mexico" and so on. The people respond with a loud Viva.
Quite a nice experience.
There are certainly many food stalls that sell delicious snacks as chalupas (small tortillas cooks in a spicy sauce). Yummy

Great picture. I love how the lady concentrates on the tortillas. A great capture of a everyday moment. Well done. Did you taste the tortillas?

Perfect use of light! Interesting street life shot.

Juerg: Mexico is a country vastly under-represented here on TE. These are great shots. You've handled the light well, but the camera? Fine work. regards, c

Juerg,
