Desire and Disapproval Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

It’s really hard to read someone’s face out of context. The look on this young girls face comes off as a cross between desperately wanting something she doesn’t think she’s going to get and the stink-eye of disapproval.]]>

Bell Tower Stairs Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

These steep stairs in the bell tower of Iglesia Guadeloupe are so narrow they should be one way, except there’d be no way to get back down once you get up to the top. Even with the few people who were there the same time as we were, it took quite a bit of cooperation, and some backing up, to get everyone up and down. Fortunately there were a couple of landings like the one in this photo so people could wait for a break in traffic. At least the traffic gives you an excuse to rest if you happen to need one.]]>

Smoke Signals Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

A chance cloud and the right camera angle created and interesting illusion at the cemetery in Grenada. The shadow of a winged angle on the adjoining tomb adds to the story somehow too I think.]]>
