Was going through the archival slides before the slide scanner decided to be a little bitch, thereby requiring me to send it on to a new home. Need to resume. Anyway, my mother near Urubamba, Peru ("flat valley full of spiders" in quechua) 1966:

Wow, what a photo. humanodon is right, her clothing seems perfect for the surroundings, even her skin color. Great shot.

I visited near Urubamba while I was there and saw the Urubamba river too. It had recently been flooded and there was a ton of debris in the the trees around the river and in the river itself. Peoples clothing, children's toys etc all floating around in the trees beside the Urubamba River. -Wish I had photos, it was quite a site.

What can I say? Three tours in the Peace Corps will do that to a person.

Nice how the wall complements and contrasts with your mother's clothes. Coincidence?
