Picasso and Vallejo

Absent Vallejo, Absent Picasso

The case is easy. The owner of the University César Vallejo used the pattern that Picasso drew of the face of the famous peruvian poet César Vallejo face in 1938 as the logo of his university. Marina Picasso, granddaughter of Pablo Picasso, knew about it and denounced the "ilegal" use of the pattern made by his grandfather. The university finally had to take the logo off and in the campus you can see those black points (big tails, I suposse) where the big pattern was. Now the owner of the university is candidate for major of Trujillo.

Soundtrack: "Donde convergemos" - Alejandro Sanz

El caso es fácil. El dueño de la Universidad César Vallejo usó el boceto que Picasso dibujó del rostro del famoso poeta peruano César Vallejo en 1938 como logo de su universidad. Marina Picasso, nieta de Pablo Picasso, supo de ésto y denunció el uso "ilegal" del dibujo hehco por su abuelo. La universidad finalmente tuvo que retirar el logo y en el campus pueden ver esos puntos negros (supongo que son clavos muy grandes) donde estaba el gran dibujo. Ahora el dueño de la universidad es candidato a la alcaldía de Trujillo.

Behind all was green

Lion-eagle

In the times of the conquest, it was a big wall that protected Trujillo from the pirates (totally different than the wall of Bush). Lima also had a wall but that city was never attacked. Now, as you can see, the wall was partly replaced by a park, but what is wrong with this park is that people can't get in. It's always closed, exactly the same as the brain of politic authorities of my city.

Soundtrack: "In the river of dreams" - Billy Joel

.

En los tiempos de la conquista, ésto era una enorme muralla que protegía Trujillo de los piratas (totalmente diferente de la muralla de Bush). Lima también tenía una muralla pero esa ciudad nunca fue atacada. Ahora, como pueden ver, la muralla fue reemplazada parcialmente por un parque, pero lo que está mal con este parque es que la gente no puede ingresar en él. Siempre está cerrado, exactamente igual que el cerebro de las autoridades de mi ciudad.

Magic corner

Looking at the past

Sometimes we don't see the small big details of our city. When I was a child I used to see many houses like this at downtown, now I really like them. When you are out your country for a long time, you give the true value to your city. Orbegoso House is in Orbegoso street, this is the house that preserves a lot of antique furniture of 19 century.

.

Soundtrack: "Se lo dices tú" - Alejandro Sanz (Álbum: El tren de los momentos)

Algunas veces no vemos los pequeños grandes detalles de nuestra ciudad. Cuando era un niño solía ver muchas casas como ésta en el centro de la ciudad, ahora de veras que me gustan. Cuando estás fuera de tu país por un largo tiempo, le das el verdadero valor a tu ciudad. La Casa Orbegoso está en la calle Orbegoso, esta es la casona que preserva más muebles antiguos del siglo XIX.

The glass boy

Fragile

The glass boy had a soft smile and looked carefully at the people that visited the exposition. He had the lemon candies he sells in the streets everyday and everynight. This glass boy was showed in an art exposition in Trujillo and it was the sculpture surprised the most because the great meaning the artist got to give through this original work.

.

Soundtrack: "The nearness of you" - Norah Jones

.

El niño de vidrio tenía una suave sonrisa y miraba con ternura a la gente que llegaba a la exposición. Él tenía los dulces de limón que vende en las calles todos los días y todas las noches. Este niño de vidrio fue mostrado en una exposición de arte y fue la escultura que más sorprendió debido al impactante significado que el artista logró difundir a través de este original trabajo.

True faces

Two children

In the streets some peruvian artists show their art: two andean children with different attitude.

Soundtrack: "Grooving" - UB40

En las calles algunos artistas peruanos muestran su arte: Dos niños andinos con diferente actitud.

Day Theme: Something that is about to disappear soon

The Huaca of the Sun is one of the most important constructions made of mud bricks in american continent, but the erosion and the scarce importance the government gives to these ruins will cause the Huaca dissapear soon. In the list below these lines you will find more cities with a day theme like mine.

Soundtrack: "Don't know why" - Norah Jones

UFO?

Yellow & White

The lights of the antenna of Telefonica in Larco Avenue creates a contrast with the light of the moon.

Soundtrack: "Es por ti" - Juanes

.

Las luces de la antena de Telefónica en la Avenida Larco crean un contraste con la luz de la luna.

In the dance

Black smiles

Black dances are some of the favorite of peruvian people. This dance has too much movement and girls really show magic smiles during the songs.

.

Soundtrack: "The hardest day" - Coldplay

.

Las danzas negras son algunas de las favoritas del público peruano. Este baile tiene mucho movimiento y las chicas muestran realmente sonrisas mágicas durante las canciones.

Present past

The corner of memories

In the corner of memories you can find some feelings, you can remember tears and smiles, you can see monochrome although you live in colour. This image is from an old house in Moche, a town close to Trujillo.

.

Soundtrack: "The silence of her absence"

.

En la esquina de los recuerdos puedes encontrar algunos sentimientos, puedes recordar lágrimas y sonrisas, puedes ver en monócromo aunque tú vivas en color. Esta imagen es de una casa antigua en Moche, un distrito cercano a Trujillo.

The lonely cannons

Silence

A friend wanted a photo of the place of the cannons. This is a detail of that historic building that was the scenary of great meetings between politicians and emancipators in the 19th century.

Soundtrack: "Ironic" - Alanis Morisette"

Un amigo quiso una foto de la plaza de los cañones. Éste es un detalle de ese histórico edificio que fue escenario de grandes encuentros entre políticos y libertadores en el siglo XIX.

The Combi

Be careful

"God is love" (Dios es amor) says the phrase in the bottom of that vehicle. These kind of vehicles are of the type Combi and in Trujillo you can find a lot of these. But be careful, the drivers of the combis are really crazy, they don't respect traffic rules. On the other side, if you are in the combi you will feel as if you are doing sport adventure.

Soundtrack: "Operación Triunfo" (On the TV)

"Dios es amor" dice que la frase en la espalda de ese vehículo. Este tipo de vehículos son del tipo Combi y en Trujillo puedes encontrar muchos de estos. Pero sea cuidadoso, los choferes de las combis están realmente locos, ellos no respetan las reglas de tránsito. Por otro lado, si tú estás dentro de la combi sentirás como si hicieras deporte de aventura

Peruvian Tradition

Dancing Horses

These horses dance "marinera", the typical dance of Trujillo, it's such a beautiful dance that Perú chose it as the most representative dance of my country. These animals are called "Caballos de paso" and have a lot of communication with their owners and that perfect dialogue is notorious when they dance. Amazing!!

Soundtrack: "The song of The Simpson"

Estos caballos bailan marinera, la danza típica de Trujillo, es tan bello este baile que Perú lo eligió como el más representativo de mi país. Estos animales son llamados "Caballos de paso" y tienen mucha comunicación con sus dueños y ese perfecto diálogo es notorio cuando ellos bailan. Impresionante!!

Champagne

Cheers !!

As you know I like cultural and artistic expositions. In this opportunity we arrived just in the opnening night. Champagne bubbles were guilty to I get out from the main room to have a breathing. Do you like champagne?

Soundtrack: "Que precio tiene el cielo" - Mark Anthony

Como ustedes saben, me encantan las exposiciones culturales y artísticas. En esta oportunidad llegamos la noche de la inauguracion. Las burbujas de la champaña fueron culpables de que salga del salón principal para tener un respiro. Y a ustedes les gusta la champaña?

Propaganda

Politicians? no thanks



I don't believe in politicians, but here in Perú they use all the possible ways to make propaganda. This taxi took propaganda of the current president of Perú. He was reelected for an only reason, people was terrified of the other candidate. Politics? No thanks.

.

Soundtrack: "Cholo soy" - Quadrasonic ideas

.

Yo no creo en los políticos, pero aquí en Perú ellos usan todas las formas posibles para hacer propaganda. Este taxi llevó propaganda del actual presidente del Perú. Él fue reelegido por una sola razón, la gente estaba aterrada por el otro candidato. Política? No gracias.

Mister DJ

Scratching the Mac

I like electronic music, but in my city only a few people like it and a very few do it. These boys use their mac's to compose new sounds of this so subjective kind of music. This photo is of a concert in a place called Alianza Francesa (French Aliance).

Soundtrack: "Thank you for loving me" - Bon Jovi

Me gusta la música electrónica, pero en mi ciudad sólo le gusta a pocas personas y muy pocas la difunden. Estos chicos usam sus mac's para componer nuevos sonidos de este tipo de música tan subjetivo. Esta foto es de un concierto en un lugar llamado la Alianza Francesa.

Shoe Industry

España Avenue

Trujillo has a big industry of shoes. Here you can find a lot of factories of this item. And the final product is sold in stores like these. Chinese shoes are cheap but they are of low quality, but it was enough to damage peruvian industry.

Soundtrack: "Advertising space" - Robbie Williams

Trujillo tiene una gran industria de calzado. Aquí puedes encontrar muchas fábricas de este artículo. Y el producto final es vendido en tiendas como éstas. Los zapatos chinos son baratos y son de mala calidad, pero lo suficiente para dañar la industria peruana.

Dog Model

Fashionable

In the streets of Trujillo you will find this sweet dog wearing this clothes. His owner sells dog clothes and this dog is the model. This small animal calls the attention of people around downtown. What I like of this pet is the honesty and the love to his owner.

.g

Soundtrack: "Lo que me gusta a mi" - Juanes

.

En las calles de Trujillo encontrarán a este dulce perro usando esta ropa. Su dueño vende ropa de perro y él es el modelo. Éste pequeño animal llama la atención de la gente que está alrededor del centro. Lo que me gusta de esta mascota es la honestidad y el amor a su dueño.

Grey

A castle?

This building is occupied only in the first floor, there you can find some shops but the upper floors are dessert. When I tried to go up, the people of first floor didn't let me. The thing is that those floors and windows seemed to be occupied for ghosts or strange people.

Soundtrack: A story told by Alejandro Sanz

Este edificio está ocupado sólo en el primer piso, allí tú puedes encontrar algunas tiendas pero los pisos superiores están desiertos. Cuanco intenté subir, la gente del primer piso no me lo permitió. La cosa es que esos pisos y ventanas parecían ser ocupados por fantasmas o gente extraña.

Side

Lines

This is one of my last shots of Trujillo. I left my city and I want to photograph places and details for my new blog of the city I am living now. I am really sad because I love my city and my country, but this is the way life is.

Soundtrack: "Donde te escondes" - La Caja de Pandora

Esta es una de las últimas fotos de Trujillo. Dejé mi ciudad y quiero fotografiar lugares y detalles para mi nuevo blog de la ciudad donde estoy vviendo ahora. Estoy realmente triste porke adoro mi ciudad y mi país, pero así es la vida.

News from Trujillo

High Speed

I am some days in Lima but I continue uploading pics of Trujillo nights. This street is a a little dangerous, for that reason was a risk to take my camera off the car in movement. Shots in high speed have interesting results. Next monday I will gave news for you. Thanx for your visit.

Soundtrack: A reggaeton that I don't like (I am in a hotel near Lima down town)

Near home

In the corner

Today I wanna show you some textures (floor, walls and road). You also can note some shadows, in the far death of sunset, the sky and the car lights are born in the early night. I will travel very soon to Europe, so you will have news from my blog.

Soundtrack: The noise of cars in a cyber cafe.

Hoy quiero mostrarles algunas texturas (piso, paredes y la pista). Además pueden notar algunas sombras, en la lejana muerte del ocaso, el cielo y las luces de los autos que nacen en la noche temprana.

In the street

Straight

In this small street you can find a group of houses. I used to walk through this street. At the bottom you can see a building, it's an institute of technical careers. from this point, you can see movement of people, cars and buses by day, and by night this is the view.

Soundtrack: "We are the champions" - Queen

On fire

The mall

Today I woke up with a little sadness. So I decided to upload something subjective, so you can give your own interpretation. You can see what it is, but I tried to give a personal touch.

Soundtrack: "Your loving arms" - Billie Ray Martin

Day Theme: Taxis

Taxi looking at you



Today is Day Theme in the community of city daily photo, it's celebrated each first day of each month. These taxis run slowly in a singular road, as you can see it has stone blocks in its structure. Only a few roads of Trujillo have this special texture. Enjoy other cities with the same theme as mine in the next links:

Porto -Albuquerque -London -Seattle, WA (USA) [Kim] -Edinburgh -Stayton, OR -Greenville, SC -Budapest -Antigua Guatemala -Alexandria, VA -Manila -Twin Cities -Szentes -Paris -Portsmouth -Ryde -Sydney -Oulu -Singapore [keropok] -Santiago -Melbourne, Aust -Dubai UAE -Bandung (Indonesia) -Copenhagen -Sequim -Singapore -Tenerife -Sharon, CT -Tuzla, B&H -Jakarta (Indonesia) -Rotterdam -Brussels -Stavanger (Norway) -Aliso Viejo, CA -Oshawa, ON, Canada -Vantaa, Finland -Trier (Germany) -Newcastle upon Tyne -Hong Kong -Shang Hai -Brussels -San Diego, CA (USA) -Sydney (Nathalie) -St Paul (USA) -

Tema del día: Taxis

Hoy en mi blog encontrarán el Tema del día: los taxis. Este tema del día lo subscriben una gran parte de los miembros de la comunidad de Foto Diaria de Ciudades y se celebra el primer día de cada mes. Estos taxis corren lentamente en una pista singular, como pueden ver está formada por bloques de piedra. Sólo algunas pistas tienen esta textura especial. Disfruta de otras ciudades con el mismo tema que el mío en los enlaces en letras azules arriba de este párrafo.

Trujillo and its Youth

Mixture

In this shot you are not looking at these students, they are looking at you. I got this image at the Private University Cesar Vallejo. Do you know who was Cesar Vallejo?

Soundtrack: "A la primera persona" - Alejandro Sanz (yes, again, I love this song)

En esta foto tú no los estás mirando a ellos, ellos te están mirando a ti. Yo obtuve esta imagen en la Universidad Privada César Vallejo. Saben quién fue César Vallejo?

Day Light

The coat of arms

The lights in the day have a different brightness, they could be yellow but daylight turns them white and brighter than they are, the atmosphere around them is foggy and shy. At the bottom you can see the coat of arms of my city, it has hispanic influence. The lion with eagle head and the crown are heritage of spanish conquer. I think it's time to include elements of our pre hispanic cultures.

Soundtrack: "Lost" - Roger Sanchez

Down Stairs

When you are up there

I don't like high places, I think It'¡s because I dislike economical and political power. This stairs aren't so wide, so if you are a little heavy or fat you won't be able to go up by these stairs. Perhaps for that reason stairs are dangerous for people fat of power, because the wheight of their ego breaks the upper plattform.

Soundtrack: (...the silence...)

No me gustan los lugares altos, soy acrofóbico, pienso que es porque no me gusta el poder económico ni político. Estas escaleras no son muy anchas, así que si eres un poco pesado o gordo no serás capaz de subir por aquí. Quizás por esa razón las escaleras son peligrosas para la gente gorda de poder, porke el peso de su ego rompe la plataforma superior.

Just in case

Soldiers

My only war is the fight I do to get love. My guns are simple hugs, my defense is my heart, my objective to defeat is your pain with missils of tenderness. I believe in a war, the war of nice feelings. Why is more difficult saying I love you in these times? Will anytime the armies of every country dissapear? I think I am waiting for something that will never arrive.

Soundtrack: "Radio Flaixbac of Barcelona"

Mi única guerra es la lucha ke hago por conseguir amor. Mis balas son simples abrazos, mi defensa es mi corazón, mi objetivo a derrotar es tu dolor, con misiles de ternura. Yo creo en la guerra, la guerra de sentimientos lindos. Porqué es más difícil decir "te amo" en estos tiempos? Alguna vez desaparecerán los ejércitos de todos los países? Creo que estoy esperando por algo que nunca llegará.

Behind all

The Teeth of History

Today is a special day, my favorite singer Alejandro Sanz (Spain) launches a new single, but as you can guess, Internet had the song before so I have it since last saturday, but of course I will buy the album. I wanna share the song with you, the letter has much feeling. Sanz left me a big lesson, he says: You can do the things good or bad, but you have to do the things with feeling, there is the truth of your acts. The photo was taken from the hole of a sculpture. Sculptures photos are coming soon!!

Soundtrack: "A la primera persona" - Alejandro Sanz

Hoy es un día especial, mi cantante favorito Alejandro Sanz (España) lanza un nuevo single, pero como pueden adivinar, Internet tenía la canción antes, así que la tengo desde el pasado sábado, pero por supuesto que compraré el álbum. Yo quiero compartir la canción con ustedes, la letra tiene mucho sentimiento. Sanz me dejó una gran lección, él dice: Tú puedes hacer las cosas bien o mal, pero tienes que hacer las cosas con sentimiento, allí está la verdad de tus actos. La foto fue tomada desde el hoyo de una escultura. Fotos de esculturas vienen pronto !!

People wants

Sunny day in Huanchaco

Some people that visit my blog always ask me for more photos of Huanchaco Beach. This beach is loved for foreign and national tourists. A lot of people have houses there, and in summer Huanchaco is the center of attention. You will see surf tournaments, sand sculpture championships, delicious food and interesting people. Wow, I seem like a tourist guide, sorry, but I like this place.

Soundtrack: "Smoke" - Natalie Imbruglia

Algunas personas que visitan mi blog siempre me preguntan por fotos de la playa Huanchaco. Esta playa es adorada por turistas nacionales y extranjeros. Mucha gente tiene casas allá, y en verano Huanchaco es el centro de atención. Tu verás torneos de surf, campeonatos de escultura sobre arena, comida deliciosa y gente interesante. Wow, parezco un guía turístico, lo siento, pero adoro este lugar.

Colors of party

Love the city?

Some of the things I don't like of some people is the absent respect they have for our streets, Streets belong to us, this town is our house, the walls are property of all the citizens, but some publish their concerts of music in this way. When I started this blog, I have tried to show a true view of my city, and this is one of the few things I dislike of my people.

Soundtrack: "Energy Club House" - Amplified Radio

Colonial Balcony

In dark red

In Trujillo the car traffic has increased so much, and you can't see quietly some beautiful houses like this. This piece of architecture is in good conditions because a bank bought it and preserve it. Other houses belong to simple people or to the state but they are so damaged. I wanted to photograph this house with the cars running and avoiding the view to understand the value of calmness and silence.

Soundtrack: "Que me alcance la vida" - Sin Bandera

Trujillo Daily Photo in Expo

Trujillo, a peruvian voice

Last tuesday, the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos - UNMSM ( http://www.unmsm.edu.pe/ ) , the most important university of Perú and the oldest of South América, organized an event of blogs Presentation. I had the opportunity to participate and present Trujillo Daily Photo, member of the community of City Daily Photo. The presentation was by webcam and audio using Skype because I live in Trujillo and the audience was in the campus which is in Lima. It was an interesting experience and people liked the idea of traveling around the world by internet, our community gives them that possibility. You can check more information about this event at: http://sanmarcosaldia.blogspot.com

Soundtrack: "Thank you" - Simply Red

The Parade

Three Dances

In this image you can find three typical clothes, the girl is wearing one from the coast, and the other two are from the Andes. The girl typical clothes are for a dance called Vals, derivated of austriac Waltz, it's a coaster dance. The devil of the left is the main dancer of Diablada, a very popular dance of Puno. And the guy of the right is wearing typical clothes of a dance called Huaylarsh. Huaylarsh is a beautiful and funny dance, it has a lot of movement and it's from Huancayo.

Soundtrack: Illapu - Música Andina

Walking

The routine

Some students have finished their classes and they leave school. When I was in elementary school I was relatively shy. Everyweek I bought a magazine of Transformers, my favorite tv show in those times, and I read all the cartoon while I was walking home. I remember that all the trip from the school to my house lasted 18 minutes and when I arrived I had finished the reading. The magazine appeared in the malls every friday.

Soundtrack: "Always" - Bon Jovi

Mute music

Brown sounds

In my blog Videos de Trujillo ( http://videosdetrujillo.blogspot.com ) you can find this image in movement. What called my attention is the good playing of roles of the woman and the man. He was so concentrated playing the flute and she had a calm attitude and suddenly she started to dance. This andean couple gives joy on one of the main streets in my city.

Soundtrack: "The Jaime Bayly TV Show"

An unprepared pic

National Soccer Team



The Sub-23 National Soccer Team trained in the Mansiche Stadium of my city.Their participation was not very good. In Perú the most popular sport is soccer, you can find people playing soccer everywhere and everytime, but when our national team plays continental tournaments they do pretty bad.

Soundtrack: "Don't dream it's over" - Crowded House

Moved night

Friday is a small saturday

It was moved night, so moved that I tink I was moved during the shot of this image. Whatever, these nights are so soft, the air is fresh and with a jacket it's enough to defeat cold night. You can see the buses of public transportation and the cars parked as they wanted, diagonal or straight. The person that knows driving in Perú, can drive in any part of the world.

Soundtrack: "yo (excuse me miss)" - Chris Brown

The expo of Thursday

Two ceilings

It was thursday and the people was waiting for the launch of a new magazine of a private univesity. Some girls with so small skirts were giving sweets to everybody. What is funny is the fact that in Trujillo you find the same people in all the cultural expositions, only some of them think that culture and art are a monopoly for a small group. Democracy is giving art to everywhere and take it to everycorner of our city.

Soundtrack: "I'm every woman" - Chaka Khan

Love is always young

The couple

So often I take photos to all those things that don't have mouth. Stupidly I try to give them voice through my pics and we can see what they express. But sometimes I see images that show me abstract feelings become reality. This lovely couple made me have the warm hope of endless love.

Soundtrack: "Konstantine" - Something Corporate

If I were the sea

The magic blue

Today I imagined how would be my life if I were the sea. And I am sure the entire world would live in constant craving because I am so anxious. I will cause tsunamies so often but my heart (which would be so deep) would always be warm. But I am sure that I would never let that anybody dies in my blue skin.

Soundtrack: "Move your body" -Nina Sky

The Old Port

In a slept sea

In this place I felt so calm. The birds are the owners of the coast and people that works in Salaverry Port are common guests. I have always said that natural places in my country are beautiful to visit, but not for living. I was about 4 hours in this port but it was enough to understand that sometimes grey colour is not always sad.

Soundtrack: "Yeah" - Usher

Trujillo Daily Photo in the Newspaper

The Article

Trujillo Daily Photo was recommended in two news papers: El Comercio and La Industria, and in a web www.noticiastrujillo.com . El Comercio is the most important newspaper of Perú and La Industria the main nespaper of my city. I've tried to spread Trujillo DP and the community of course, and some media have published my blog. I hope they continue doing it because our community of cities daily photo is a fresh and interesting experience. In the photo is the article referred to blogs and the recommendation of La Industria last wednesday 6 Sept.

The Rainbow

Always Urban Always

When I see these photos, when I see my environment, my surrounding life, I understand I always be an urban person, but an urban man that misses Natura, for that reason I caught that rainbow in the photo. This street is near to mine, and the furthest bulding with the green tank on the top is the beer company of my city. Peruvian men like beer too much, nobody can say the contrary. I am only a socially drinker.

Soundtrack: "Ni un día más" - Jerau

Avoiding the chaos

Time to stop

It's winter, cars are too noisy and people is really hurry, but if you try to stop a moment and see those details that are in front of us, you will find pieces of history. This street is called Jirón Bolívar and a river of yellow taxis always run by. Trujillo has almost all the commercial places in downtown... and the stress too.

Soundtrack: "Come close to me" - Common and Mary J. Blige

Chan Chan

The city of mud

Wallpaper? Mudwall? This wall is a small part of Chan Chan, the biggest mud city in the world. As it is in the coast, people from Chimú culture used water and sand to build their cities. They liked to express their activities in the different walls of their communities. Here you can see a sculpture in mud. The tridimensional lines symbolize the sea and fishes are in it. In other drawings is shown the activity of fishing.

Soundtrack: "Resucitar" - Gianmarco

Closed window

In red

Today I have a terrible headache. But here I am uploading a pic of my city. Something I do with pleasure. This kind of color is very ussual in old big houses of mi city. You can find the difference between the dark red of the house and the red of the flag of my country.

Soundtrack: "Buddha Bar" - DJ Garnier

Rock at school

The concert

One of the energies that moves the world is rock & roll. Here people like all kind of music, but all of them can't avoid the love for rock. Rock in spanish or rock in english, the force is the same. Personally I can say that music of Queen changed my life. This shot is from a concert in a private high school. I took this photo in a relative abstract and try to get the essence of rock: The energy of movement.

Soundtrack: "Smile" - Lilly Allen

DAY THEME: DOORWAYS

In Main Square

In front of main square you can find this huge doorway. Now it belongs to a company, but the style and elegance belongs to Trujillo. Next to it you can see part of a balcony and a lamp. It has a classic atmosphere. I like my city. It will be so difficult to leave.

Visit the other cities that participate in the day theme of this month. All of them are publishing doorways too:
1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10 -11 -12 -13 -14 -15 -16 -17 -18 -19 -20 -21 -22 -23 -24 -25 -26 -27 -28 -29 -30-31 -32 -33 -34 -35 -36 -37 -38 -39 -40 -41 -42-43
