Photographer’s Note

This is a view of Zacatecas downtown from "La Bufa" hill.
Zacatecas, a beautiful colonial city with over 400 years, was founded as a minning center.
Now not much industry, agriculture or minning is happenning around, though it's a great place with very nice architecture and several museums.
The city it's almost all built with quarry facade that gives this pink / arena look to most of the buildings.

Hope you all like it,

Hi.
Looks like Paris to me, with so much houses and buildings. It is great you put the sky also in the frame. I love it.

HOla Jorge,
Me gustan mucho los detalles de la ciudad, una vista buen neta de la ciudad particularmente de los edificios principales.
Saludos
Daniel

Hi Jorge- fantastic overview of the town, and very underrepresented on this site, it looks like taken by a bird, but I've been there in 2001 and know about the cable car and hills, great work.
