Source: WTL photo© (1999) taken on site in Cuernavaca from the roof (azotea) of the apartment (piso) he was living in.
Image: The Volcán Popocatépetl. As you can see, the volcano was active when this photo was taken.
Comments: This volcano and its companion to the north are two of Mexico's highest volcanic peaks. Popocatépetl ("smoking mountain" in Náhuatl) is also called Don Goyo and simply Popo. It is 5452 m / 17,787 ft high. The other volcano is called Iztaccíhuatl ("woman in white;" 5220 m / 17,158 ft). According to ancient legend "Popo" was an Aztec warrior whose beloved was "Izta," daughter of the emperor. When he was out warring, she, thinking he had died in battle, died of grief . When he returned from the war, finding she had died, he created two mountains—does this remind you of the characters in the Popol Vuh?—then he laid her body on one of them and he stood holding a funeral torch for her on top of the other mountain peak. From Mexico City, the profile of four volcanic peaks (outside this photo's frame to the left) more or less seem like a profile of Izta lying on her back.

Humanities Questions: An obvious way of analyzing this photograph is to say that it belongs to the science of geography. Can it also be viewed within one of the humanities disciplines? If so, which one?
