Z Finished Mural

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing the finished mural in our zócalo. While I personally would have chosen some different content, such as perhaps Los Morros de Potosí instead of Las Piedras del Sacramento, and really ANYTHING instead of the sunken Jesus, I think the artist did a fine job and deserves to be commended.

Great photo! I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.

I like Tamacun's stoic expression while being bitten by a croc.

I'll give it this: it's colorful. But I would much rather have seen the funds put toward some kind of plantings -- especially a few shade trees -- proven to be able to stand up to conditions like those at la cancha.

Actually, I heard, and, was hoping that, they would REBUILD the traditional original outdoor amphitheater that they tore down at the beginning of A. Bravo's administration.
They could of left the mural to accompany the amphitheater.

Excerpt from JeffMN...
...... "especially a few shade trees -- proven to be able to stand up to conditions like those at la cancha."

A few things come to mind:

--Low maintenance shade trees would be most appropriate, in lieu of the small plants they installed.
¿Maybe some palm trees fit that description?

--Regarding, being "able to stand up to conditions like those at La Cancha"--->
One of those conditions, I can testify to, is the destructiveness of SOME of the local population.
Like trampling over plants, and the like. And throwing their trash where it doesn't belong.
In a few months, what they just planted, will be destroyed/deteriorated, mark my words.
