Thanks so much for your sensitive eye here, Arluke.

Yes, it was an overcast morning. That shot was a small portion of a long wall on the sidewalk. The bottom portion was smooth, and the top a series of vertical curved forms. Like rounded clay roof tiles mounted vertically.

And yes, I mess about in the digital darkroom!

Also appreciate your mention of the crucifix motif. They are seemingly everywhere in so many different forms. Mexico has a very interesting relationship with Christianity. They have found a way to combine it with their indigenous beliefs that makes for a more balanced belief system, where guilt is not at the center. This is an aspect I appreciate.
