[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Disco Valentino is a disco patterned after a church. Don't ask me why a disco would want to look like a church.

This disco presents many photo possibilities and is probably worth a return visit. I could picture a setting sun through one of the many windows or through a tower, a flock of birds around it, and many interesting detail and architectural shots.

This shot was taken from the Family statue near the disco. The statue itself is also an interesting photographic subject -- nearly everyone who has been to Mazatlan seems to have a picture of it.

The Disco Valentino is located at the end of the boardwalk nearest the Golden Zone.

Nicely composed, with the diagonals of the towers crossing the cloud diagonals. Good use of silhouette. There are a couple of lines I don't understand: Look at the main openings in the towers and you'll see a thin vertical line, which doesn't look like it belongs. Some careful clone stamp or some smudging should take care of it.

And I know a church in New York City that was converted into a disco, so it does happen.
