This beautiful woman lives in the rugged canyons of the Barranca Urique in the Copper Canyon area of Chihuahua, Mexico. I have no idea how old she is but her weather-beaten face holds a thousand stories and her bright eyes and happy disposition belie a life of hardship and frugality. Now she is content to spend a day posing for photographs in return for a few pesos. What a beautiful old soul.
