Zombie Lemonade at the Comic Convention

Photos taken during the Animex Convention in Monterrey, México 2010. My favorite, except this awesome zombie dude, is the old man charging people to shoot Edward with the bow and arrow. You know Edward, the sparkling vampire from the movie trilogy Twilight? Yeah, I know…

Hurricane Alex: The aftermath

Yesterday I took a drive through the city with Anna and her mother. The destruction of the city is immense and beyond recognition. I took a lot of photos and the quality might not be as the usual ones at Silfver Creations. This is more for documentary purpose. But perhaps you can enjoy them anyway. The Hurricane Alex from my point of view. And please remember the source of these photos.

If you want to use these photos for commercial use say hi first and we’ll discuss it. Are you a blogger or want them for private use, please feel free to do so. I appreciate link backs though.

It’s 9 images so it might take a while to load if you’re outside of Sweden.

When the hurricane Alex hit Monterrey

Last year I was here for the swine flu. This year the hurricane Alex. So far so good. I’m still alive. What you see on the top image is a flooded river bank that’s been dry for decades. No more go kart, circuses, soccer fields or markets. Everything got flushed away.

Yesterday and the day before that was pretty overwhelming with all the heavy rain. Today it’s more clear and people is starting to overlook all the damage. I’ll try to post more pictures of the disaster later on when I get more pictures.

I’ll keep you all updated. Let’s just hope my house gets water back soon…

Bandera Monumental in Monterrey, Nuevo León

The biggest monumental flag in Mexico is the one located at the Mirador del Obispado in Monterrey (northeast) with a pole of 120 tons and 100.6 meters in height. The flag measures 50 by 28.6 meters and weighs 230 kilograms. This is four times the size of most other monumental flags. — Wikipedia

When México won against France in the World Cup

I thought I had the camera set to Auto ISO but it was actually ISO100. But I kind of like the blurry motion feeling in the picture. It was a wonderful game. A great day for México.

Imaginary Room

Outside a bar in Real de Catorce, México. Sometimes you wonder if there’s been a gerilla war in México. Some things are too run down.

Entrada

I love doors. They always make me so curious of what’s on the other side of them. Who’s behind them, what kind of people who went through there. The word door is also very interesting. Think about it.

This photo is barely touched.
