Juarez Chih. Mexico & Chihuahua Chih. Mexico
 
I just got back from visiting family in Mexico. It was a good time. There are two cities in these photos: Juarez (first 10), & and Chihuahua. Two desert pictures distinguish the two.

La Violencia was a major blow to the tourist industry in Juarez. Many clubs and bars went out of business.

Pancho Villa is a national hero from the Mexican Revolution. In the State of Chihuahua, where he is from, and in which Juarez is in, he's virtually a god.

On the way to the state Capital- Chihuahua, you'll see the Samalayuca Dune Fields. Here they filmed portions of the 80's movie, "Dune." I took these photos at a rest area. The area where it looks the coolest was closed off from where I was.

Loves this. I've only been to El Paso, and my friends there would not let me even think about going across the border, but it looks like a pleasant city.

Thundertubs Jan 4, 2013 2:21 AM

Awesome!!

We always need more Mexican cities around here.

ColDayMan Jan 4, 2013 2:37 AM

Gracias!

Very rare to see any pics of Ciudad Juarez on here... I've heard things have slowly gotten better.

fflint Jan 4, 2013 4:21 AM

Never been to Chihuahua, but I've always loved Juarez. Granted I knew it when it was less dangerous. Cool pics.

kentucky club!

Nice to see some Mexican cities on here! Ciudad Juarez has some nice buildings; it's a shame that those people had to go through such devastating violence.

Keep-SA-Lame Jan 4, 2013 5:38 AM

Incredible pictures. Thanks!

Nice photos and good use of the hdr. Hopefully the violence in Juarez will subside enough to where tourism can thrive there again.

great pics, thanks

Yeah, about the HDR. I really think I overdid it, but then again, it was my first time using it. I think it works great with certain pictures, then it falls flat on others.

Great shots. Would love to see more.
Aren't the Mormon colonies that Romney is associated with in Chihuahua? Are they a presence there at all, or do they stick to themselves?

Well done. The effect you use helps create the feeling of being there.

whatsthepoint13 Jan 18, 2013 5:52 AM

Amazing pictures. I always love seeing Mexico, especially a place as rare as Juarez! Thanks!

kcexpress69 Jan 19, 2013 12:10 AM

Way cool..I crossed the border there back in 86 with my parents. Quite a culture shock for me for about an hour or two!! Thanks!!

M.R.Victor Jan 20, 2013 5:23 PM

Very nice tour. At first I found the editing style a bit over the top, but in the end I really enjoyed the punchy look. Awesome set

Shawn Jan 21, 2013 5:05 AM

Nice set Xing, I think the HDR was well-used. These have an almost Hopper-esque sense of time and place largely due to the moody HDR. What are you using for a camera and kits?

Segun Jan 21, 2013 5:10 AM

Who you think you are, Stephen Soderbergh?!!!

Great pics mang.
