Thanks for the cudos guys - one thing I would like to mention is that in Morelia, a town of over 600,000 people, the majority of the architecture of the government bulidings and those close to the center of town are of the early colonial style. Very few 'modern' buildings exist here.
You know, when I travel to these places I am usually busy at work. But occassionally I do get enjoyment of breaking out the camera and snapping off a few.
