This was taken in a monastery in Antigua, Guatemala, that was nearly 500 years old (see the earthquake damage repair in the patterns in the plaster). I didn't notice the mop until I was finished. Duh. What I do like about the image, though, is that it violates a basic tenet of photography: don't put a huge pillar in the middle foreground. But somehow, it works. Mamiya RZ-67. 1991.
