The Catedral Metropolitana holds the distinction of being the largest church in Latin America. Like so many of the city's older, weightier structures, the cathedral has settled over the years into the soft, wet ground beneath – the tilt is quite plain to see, despite extensive work to stabilize the building. The first church on this site was constructed only a couple of years after the Conquest, using stones torn from the Temple of Huitzilopochtli, but the present structure was begun in 1573 to provide Mexico City with a cathedral more suited to its wealth and status as the jewel of the Spanish empire. The towers weren't completed until 1813, though, and the building incorporates a plethora of architectural styles throughout. Even the frontage demonstrates this: relatively austere at the bottom where work began in the years soon after the Conquest, it flowers into full Baroque as you look up, and is topped by Neoclassical cornices and clock tower.

 

Inside, although the size of the cathedral is striking, the chief impression is that it's a rather gloomy space, with rows of dimly lit side chapels. It is enlivened mostly by the Altar de los Reyes, a vast gilt reredos built of wood between 1718 and 1737 behind the main altar that features effigies of European kings and queens as well as two oil paintings, the Assumption of the Virgin and Adoration of the Kings. Fans of ornate handiwork will also appreciate the detailed work in gold and wood on the central coro (choir).

Antimony from Mexico. (Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA)

 

A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 4900 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.

 

Elements are fundamental substances of matter - matter that is composed of the same types of atoms. At present, 118 elements are known (four of them are still unnamed). Of these, 98 occur naturally on Earth (hydrogen to californium). Most of these occur in rocks & minerals, although some occur in very small, trace amounts. Only some elements occur in their native elemental state as minerals.

 

To find a native element in nature, it must be relatively non-reactive and there must be some concentration process. Metallic, semimetallic (metalloid), and nonmetallic elements are known in their native state as minerals.

 

The semimetal/metalloid antimony (Sb) is not common in its native state. It has a metallic luster, silvery-gray color, is somewhat soft (H=3 to 3.5), and is moderately heavy for its size. Other semimetals that occur as native elements are arsenic (As) and bismuth (Bi). The semimetals/metalloids resemble metals in luster, but they break along fractures - they’re brittle. True metals are malleable.

 

The folks in this found photo album were seriously into ballroom dancing, and went to some competition in Mexico. They seemed to have a good time together wherever they were.

yikes. I stepped within a few feet of this guy. It's the first one we've seen in almost a year in Mexico, though.

The tails on this butterfly are usually very long but probably fragile so it is rare to see one with long tails. Note the clear patch on the upper wing.
