It looks like a channel to a river or a stream? Is it man-made or natural, osso?

It's not part of Teotihuacan, is it? Looks too modern.

I'm googling like a mad woman. It looks like something by an architect by Luis Barragan. Anything like that?!

Bingo!!!


I was trying to nudge you into thinking of the photo as the image of a designed space...

I have a batch of great Barragan links, will be back with them.

Ohmygoodness! I will have to look those up! Unfortunately I need to prepare for my evening. So, someone else can take the next round.
You, dear osso, are a wealth of information!
