My son's gaze over his homeland

My 9-year-old son, a delightful blend of Russian and Mexican heritage, holds a deep love for his homeland, Mexico. During a leisurely stroll in a local park, he was captivated by a breathtaking view that held his attention. In that moment, I seized the opportunity to immortalize a scene rare in today's digital age—a young boy fully immersed in the beauty of nature, savoring the panorama of his city, untouched by the distraction of a cell phone.
