Two Busts and a Bull

 A trio of photos that I took while walking around the Mexico City neighborhood of Roma Norte...

I doubt if you would ever find a monument to the this fellow in the United States.  Fredrich Engels was the German philosopher and political theorist who co-authored "The Communist Manifesto" with Karl Marx.  This bust was erected on the bicentennial of his birth last year by the Communist Party of Mexico and the Mexican General Assembly of Workers.


One of the parks in Roma Norte is "Jardín Pushkin", named after Alexander Pushkin, the 19th century poet, playwright and novelist who is considered the founder of modern Russian literature.  This bust of the writer is located in the park.



I couldn't resist taking a picture of this bull relaxing on a bench outside of a taco joint along Roma Norte's main boulevard Alvaro Obregón.
