Nice photo. And, maybe it’s just another illusion of shadow, but it’s fascinating how the white on the back of the niche, from the angle the shot was taken, continues/echos the contour of the cloud.
Thank you! I know what you mean about the white of the niche and the clouds. I almost called the post Jesús of the clouds.
I love Oaxaca and always thought we would end up there but we found our niche in the mountains of Hidalgo, living in the small village of Tototla. I love seeing your blog posts anout life in Oaxaca. They encouraged me as we were preparing for our move and they still inspire me. Someday we will travel there again. Thanks for the time you spend taking pictures and posting about your life there.
Thank you so much for reading and your kind words — they encourage me to continue! Congratulations on finding your own niche in Tototla. Let me know if you come to Oaxaca.
