Faith and nature, Sucre, Bolivia, 2014

This cloudscape, in itself, is a magnificent symbol of nature’s power. In this image, the clouds spiral upwards over the rooftops and religious symbols of man. Nature takes top billing here. However, a small halo effect appears around the small cross, and that is where my interpretation begins. The little halo, symbolizing faith, must struggle to match the scale of the storm clouds that rise into the heavens behind it. This picture also makes an appropriate introduction to the series of nine images that follow – all dealing with matters of faith amidst the turbulence of a rapidly changing country.

Good to know you find this image a powerful statement, Shelley. That was my intention. It sets the stage for a sequence of nine images symbolizing various aspects of religious activity here in Bolivia.
