Ixtapaluca at Night
Today is the last day! Yes, I have indeed taken and posted 30 photos in 30 days.
I had a few ideas what I could take a picture of today. Most days I’ve just taken pictures of things that have been going on in the regular course of life.
But I thought I’d end with something a little more abstract.
One of the things that struck me about Mexico City, when I first saw it over 18 years ago, was the view of the city at night. The city lights – that stretched on and on and on. Each light representing another person – someone that God was reaching out to.
So I went up on the roof again and took this shot.
The Municipality of Ixtapaluca is home to about half a million people. Mexico City as a whole has about 20 million, and the urban centre of Mexico is home to roughly 30 million.
Take a look and think of those unfathomable numbers – then see the houses to the right and remember – every person, every family is important.
