Mazatlan Mural and Bottle Tree

[asirimarco]

Yesterday we drove to the new convention center here in Mazatlan to see this mural. It is 82 feet high and runs the full length of the building. It is kind of 3 D. Has over a half million mosaic pieces in it all applied by hand. It was designed by a 17 year old high school student. The whole mural

From left to right - Cortez and the deer

The fishing industry - middle

Mermaid - right side

It is really really impressive - while I was taking pictures a guard yelled NO at us and ran us off. It's a public place don't know what that was about.
And for you who asked about the bottle Christmas tree. They were taking it apart today. Quite a project. Bottle by bottle
The tree with part of the bottom taken off

Some of the yellow bottles

Some of the red bottles already shrink wrapped

Close up of the tree - if you look closely you can see the individual wires that held the bottles to the frame - bottle by bottle

I also updated my blog about our trip to Cosala yesterday. Road conditions, town and local cow.
