Worrier Named Popocatepetl

Photo Of Popocatepetl, summer of 2013

In the summer of 2013 in Mexico, the volcano named Popocatepetl was ready to erupt. Ash Filled the air all over the country side and the city.In the photo you can see many houses; many poor people live near the base of the volcano because it is very inexpensive to live by there that’s why there are many houses made of scraps.  I took this picture when my family and I were driving to Mexico City because it made a loud sound while emitting smoke and it caught my attention. While driving by my aunt told me the story behind Popocatepetl and the mountained named iztaccihuatl. The Volcano Popocatepetl used to be warrior named Popocatepetl and the mountain was a princess named iztaccihuatl. they were both in loved with each other, but tragedy stroke ad they both died, later god immortalized their love by turning them into a volcano and a mountain. I like this photo because I feel like this image has a hierarchy to it, the earth, poor man, the noble volcano, and the heavens.
