Mexico City - Diana Fountain near El Ángel de la Independencia

Taken near the El Ángel de la Independencia monument in Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City

The Diana fountain roundabout is situated near the world famous El Angel structure, aka The Angel of Independence, Its a structure featuring the Roman goddess Diana, who is considered as the goddess of 'hunt', hence the arrows. In fact, it was originally named 'The Arrow Thrower of the North Star'. Not to be confused with Cupid (due to the arrows)

 

What I really like about the photo is that the top rays of light seem to go behind the structure. Can't be done much justice without seeing in bigger size.

 

p.s. I had to wait for any buses to pass by (to cover the top rays), so sorry to folks who I kept waiting.
