this picture was taken in the street by close by the beach in rosarito baja california mx.This mural cought my attetion because it was really long and by the time they grafitti made it ugly and it was a mural of the whole story of the slavery time until the day of freedom,and thats the last part that was left was the freedom part were there dancing and smiling very happy.But as you can see its algo tagged by graffiti.This picture is not photoshoped yet but they gave me a tip in that i should reshoot it and take the picutere from a farther distance so we can see the whole mural.So i wiil be retaking this photo and along with another series of photos.
