The Old Bank Of Sonora, (1908-1932)

I have posted pictures of the old Banco de Sonora before; although it is quite some time ago.
This is a wonderful old building that is deteriorating more and more as time goes by.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any money laying around to either maintain it or restore it to its former glory.
At one time I had heard that there was an organisation trying to raise funds to look after it; I don't know if that was/is correct or not.
It truly is a shame to see buildings like this falling more and more into ruin as the years go by.  Yes, I fully understand that people and infrastructure come first, I am not blind or stupid; but still.......
I am not criticizing anyone, it is just a fact of life that no matter where you live, there is never enough money to go around to all the projects that need some.
















Some of the damage to the cupola, there is much more damage in other areas also.

Dove of Peace

I mentioned that we had seen something new, to us anyway, on the malecon the other night.
It is a dove of peace, which in itself is nothing unusual.  What is unusual is what it is made of.  The head of the dove is made up of small plastic soldiers, the body and wings consist of toy guns of all types and the tail is made up of toy swords.
There is a sign beside it to explain the sculpture.
Very interesting and very timely.
