Snapped this photo with my cell phone. It was the oldest tree in the center of Oaxaca and a very big deal for them to cut it down for a new plaza. Very sad moment in time for the locals and many who have enjoyed the old plaza.
I had to scan this in, but, look closely, and you will see two distinct faces, one under the bridge and one upstream. After I had this print made, they were there, now touch up, but, very real. One day, I hope to go back and find that location to see if I can see them without the camera.
