Trapped In An Atom

A fountain in "Bosque de Chapultepec" (Chapultepec Forest), Mexico City. To some the sculpture represents Valentine. When I saw this in Google Street View my first impression was that it represents a pair of swimmers, however a search on Google revealed its true name and purpose - The fountain/sculpture is called "Fuente de los Fisicos Nucleares" meaning Source of Nuclear Physicists.

Overlooking the beautiful Sea of Cortez, El Rockodile in San Felipe, Mexico, is reportedly one of the most famous nightspots in Baja California, where one can party all night to the tunes of Latin pop.

Chichén Itzá

Reportedly there is huge gathering of tourists today (December 21, 2012) at the Mayan pyramid Chichén Itzá. They have gathered there waiting for the World to end, which hasn't come so far and will probably not come for next few millennia - but who knows?
