I cannot sleep and I put myself to review this thread, I thought... and I reached to the conclusion that the most beautiful thing in my town (Toluca, Mexico) is the "Cosmovitral", a unique botanical garden that in its walls and windows relates a story about the man, the day and the night

everything is work of Leopoldo Flores, a Mexican painter
