This is an unimaginable shot. To say the city is quiet would be an understatement. It is not that people are not out and about, just that traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, is way down.
At times, the zocalo is as empty as I've ever seen it. Tranquil and a bit eerie.
And so too, the Alcala, the pedestrian walkway.
Hard to believe that this is one of the most popular tourist destinations, but note, there are two way up on the right.
And no one in front of Santo Domingo in the morning heat and haze....
People are paying attention and staying at home for the most part and that will surely help.
These images are startling. My in-laws are on Oaxaca, near Canteras, and we talk regularly. They tell us their stories, but we don’t ‘see’ it. For years now, whenever anything happens and I want a sense of how things feel emotionally back home in Oax, I come to this blog. Posts like this one are why. Thank you so much for continuing to share your story, as it helps us feel connected to the home we miss and the people we miss more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words and I'm glad to here... Wait, let me say that again. I am so glad to be here!! Oaxaca is so rich in all aspects of life. And glad that I can provide you with a little taste of what is going on here... from my limited perspective.
