No, I did not travel to the northern Mexican state located along the Gulf of Mexico and which extends all the way to the U.S. border. In fact, I have never been to Tamaulipas. However, to honor the bicentennial of Tamaulipas as a state, there was an outdoor photographic exhibit at the entrance to Chapultepec Park.
Here are a few of the pictures on display...

Tamaulipas is a major producer of sunflowers which are used for oil, livestock feed and the production of soaps and cosmetics.
Dancers celebrate the feast day of Our Lady of the Snows in the village of Palmillas.
It's a beautiful state but not someplace to travel alone at the present time, unfortunately.........
ReplyDeleteYes, I know that it is not a very safe area of Mexico. I will probably never get there.
