Spring is the prettiest time of year in Paseo de la Reforma with scores of purple jacaranda trees in bloom and blue skies. For Photo Walk Nº101 we wandered down part of Paseo de la Reforma and explored Cuauhtémoc with our cameras.We met at the Estela de Luz and first of all photographed the cluster of Mexico City's highest buildings, also looking out for contrasts... especially regarding the old and modern architecture. As we made our way up this wide, tree-lined, boulevard, which Emperor Maximillian had built to link his castle to the centre, emulating the Champs Elysées in Paris, we looked for shots that captured the essence of this modern, financial district and also the everyday scenes.The second part of the photo walk took place just one street away from Paseo de la Reforma yet we seemed to have stepped into a completely different world, more like a small town. Some of the places we visited were the Monumento a la Madre and the Jardin del Arte and our last stop was to have some refreshment sitting at a pavement cafe.
