Puebla, 2024

A mixed selection of snapshots from Puebla: 

• the sight of the Popocatepetl from the car window
• a rainbow appearing on the wall of a restaurant under the sign "Evacuation Route"
• an array of baby Jesus statues in a religious article stores pleading to be brought home
• a house window with old paint on an very light blue wall and a sidewalk agave which feels somehow very serene.

Iglesia del Cerrito

Iglesia del Cerrito is a church at the top of a hill in the municipality of Zinacatepec, Puebla, visited mostly by locals. Along the stairway up to the church, there are several Christmas-themed decorations, which create an intriguing juxtaposition with the background cactus vegetation.
