[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The interesting about this place is the location; this are in front of the international Airport of Tijuana and this is the first thing than the people who arrive to Tijuana see. I cut the first part of the cross and leave the rest this way you can see part of the letters there and this give it more dramatism to the picture. The letter say: NO IDENTIFY, in the the next cross in the vertical area, has the name of the state where the person born and maybe the name of the person in the horizontal area.
I chance the color and adjust the brigth.

Have a nice weekend

Elias

It is a nice picture illustrating the dramatic situation at the border with the US. The POV is good and lead the eyes to an infinite barrier built by humans to control humans. How sad!

Hola Elias,

Realmente una foto muy buena. Me gusta el color que le diste a la imagen. Pienso que es una lastima que exista la barrera sin embargo tambien pienso que cada pais tiene su derecho a proteger sus fronteras. Ojala algun dia los dos paises puedan entenderse mejor y cooperar para el desarrollo de las dos sociedades. Gracias amigo.

Olá Elias,
bem curioso mesmo esse local e as placas. O tom da foto combinou bem com o muro e a região. Belo trabalho amigo.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Simply crazy it's the first thing you see when you arrive there. Amazing and sad...
Desaturation was a good idea to enhance that sensation.

Hola Elías,
No entendí muy bien tu explicación sobre el lugar y lo que significan estas cruces, pero es una toma toma muy singular de esta valla y de gran perspectiva.
Cordialmente
Charo

Hola Elias
Very dramatic view of this wall of shame (even more dramatic than my pictures of it in Playas de Tijuana).
It's impressive that it is along many many miles and we can "see" it in your photo, because we don't see the end.
Saludos
