Here are more pictures from "The Infinite City", an outdoor photographic exhibition of images of Mexico City on display along the fence of Chapultepec Park.
Cars of the "cablebus", Mexico City's newest and most unique form of public transportation
You can see the cauldron where the Olympic flame was lit.
The exterior is decorated with a 3-dimensional stone mural designed by Diego Rivera.

Another market scene
Playing soccer on the campus of the National University
A "lucha libre" match
The "alebrije" parade
The Plaza of the Three Cultures
Aztec ruins, a colonial-era church, and 20th century apartment blocks
Dancing on the Zócalo
Jacaranda trees in bloom in Chapultepec Park
The Azteca Stadium, where this year's World Cup games are being played.
From the lack of development around the stadium, I would guess that this photo was taken around the time of its inauguration in 1966.
The snow-capped volcano Iztaccíhuatl is visible in the background.
The Latin American Tower
I think this photo exemplifies the exhibit's title, "The Infinite City"...
an aerial shot above an inactive volcanic crater with the city extending endlessly beyond it.
