Mexico City - Take 4 - The other side of the coin

Away from the city center on the peripheral part of one of the largest cities in the world (more than 20 million people), you can find high density "Barrios" like the one below.
It is always good to show the other reality.

Some stark contrast to the colourful, and joyous looking city life. Thanks for sharing these.

As HBG suggests, these are quite a different mood than the previous posts. It is interesting that in these the smattering of bright colour actually emphasises the drabness of the surrounds rather than being uplifting.
