Ruins of Guerrero Viejo, Tamaulipas, Mexico

Colonial town of 1750 which was evacuated and subsequently flooded by the dammed waters of the Rio Grande River in 1953. A decade long drought has forced the waters of the Falcon Reservoir to recede, revealing the ruins of beautiful Spanish and Mexican architecture.

Once again you have recorded images for all to see. This should be placed in historical archives for all. I hope this becomes a historic site. Your Photos should lay the ground work for preservation of Spanish American History.Thank you again............Markos
