One of many sidewalk vegetable spots in Jama, Ecuador.
Many of the photo challenges prompt a chuckle as I apply the theme to where I am in life. This week’s “Urban” challenge on Word Press presents the following criteria: The idea behind urban photography is to photograph your city and the streets where you grew up as they are.
I am a long way from home, Toto!!!
I grew up in a petite community (Bolivar) that was three miles from a petite town of 300+ (Benoit) that was 35 miles from the small city of Greenville, Mississippi. One rural blacktop road skirted the edge of my parent’s farmland; our streets and avenues were the turn rows in the cotton field and the gravel road that zippered down the levee’s spine! Ecuador is a long way from the Mississippi Delta, though my little adopted town of Jama reminds me a lot of life on a farm once upon a time in a land far away.
An unhurried town, Jama expects one to slow down and embrace the day.
