Hi everybody!
Presenting beautiful Monterrey, one of the most modern cities in Latin America

Great shots the bridge doesnt seem to fit in though...

Avolar Alto · June 28th, 2007, 01:46 AM

Thanks for your comments, I think the bridge will look better once other vertical projects are finish in the same area.

I'll leave this one

Thanks for all your comments

Technically Monterrey is part of North America and yes in summer can be very hot, although the annual average is around 70F - 21C

Since the city is located in a beautiful mountain valley, during summer time, people like to drive out the city to some nature parks that exist just out the city

like Cumbres de Monterrey

cheers!

Wow super pics. I heard that Monterrey was a very european-like city. This pic is my favorite.

Phriggin' Ogre · June 29th, 2007, 03:50 AM

Oh wow, great night shots. Does anyone have any info on the construction projects going on in Monterrey? Last I remember, they had a number of new buildings being erected throughout the city. The city is growing fast, like most of Mexico.

Also, does anyone know how tall the mountains are?

Yörch · June 29th, 2007, 04:02 AM

The Cerro de la Silla (Chair's Mountain), the one with the two tops that reminds a horse chair is 5,972ft.

Regarding the buildings, as long as I know since I don't live in Monterrey, the newest one is a government building of 36 floors and 591ft. This building will host every government department office's of the state.
