The prompt this week was “One.” Hope it didn’t mean to post just one! These were the photos I could find that most gave me the feeling of solitude or “oneness.” You can click on the first one to enlarge them all.

If I were to pick just one out of this group it would be, hands down, the shot of the woman wrapped in the red blanket. It’s a beautiful shot!

She was a Tarahumara woman from Copper Canyon. Actually, the local news magazine used this for one of their covers, but photoshopped the Pepsi out. I loved the contrast of the woman in traditional dress and the open bottle of soda.

It says so very much about the transition/modernization of traditional culture. And it’s a good portrait in its own right.

I like that one too, but my favorite is the fence and the flowers.

Oh oh, sorry, Mary. I put that in by mistake. I had it on my desktop and it got tangled up with the onesies but wasn’t one itself. I have since removed it. You are fast!!!! It was of a scene on the way to Tapalpa. One of the prettiest drives I’ve ever taken in my life during wildflower season.

All lovely photos but I agree, the one of the woman is the most beautiful.

Wonderful images. That’s really cool about the news magazine using your image for their cover. It is a fantastic shot. Thanks for joining the challenge!

I am usually too lazy to submit anything, Nancy, but the woman who usually did their cover didn’t have anything for that month and somehow saw my photo and asked to use it. This was long before my blog, so can’t remember how she saw it. I think perhaps she knew I’d been to Copper Canyon and asked if I had anything from there. The blog is a different matter. So much easier to just publish things yourself! I am rather addicted to posting here!

Great photos and I agree, I like the contrast of traditional garb and modern beverage.

I love that song. Someone included it in their post as well.. But I would disagree and say sometimes two can be the loneliest number!

Hehe, that’s the next line! Remi. Not really a big fan of the song but tour subjects all looked a little solitary, for sure. I guess that was the point? Cheers Jamie.

Tour subjects can look a big solitary, too, I imagine. All that moving around? Hard to make friends. ;o)
