Cityscape nominee

Mexico City during covid 19 lockdown in may and june of 2020. It has been the months with less movement in the streets and public places.

The absence of cars and the spring rainstorms have cleaned the air, showing transparent and majestic views, observations that Alexander Humbolt wrote in 1804 about the tableland of Anahuac (México City) -...as the air through which the eye receives the rays is more rare and transparent…-, seconded by Alfonso Reyes in one of his books “Traveler, you have come to the most transparent region of the air”.

City-Landscapes with almost no human presence shows beautiful and rare postals of one of the most contaminated cities in the world.
