Mexico City from the air

Soooo. Mexico City. I've never been, heard lots about. Not sure how much I believe, but its supposed to be pretty wild. These photos are pretty surreal, they're taken by a guy whose job is basically to fly around the city in a helicopter. Fuck yes, eh?

These are all from a slide show he did, with his captions included.


"Xico volcano crater, behind is Chalco where few streets are paved." Is that farm land inside the crater?

"What a way to block the sun from the neighbors! (Bosque de las Lomas)" and how rich do you have to be to buy and build on this lot!?

"Huge growth of housing projects like these for low income families, Ixtapaluca." I would've thought this was computer generated, it looks so cartoony, except there are empty lots and houses that are cast, but yet to painted in the background. I wonder if our projects in the States would feel better if we painted them all up like this.

"This apartment building is pretty intersting, Interlomas." Hell yes it is.
