A narrow cobblestone street in colonial Guayaquil, Ecuador.

#BlueSkyArtShow #Narrow #CobblestoneStreet #Alleyway #Colonial #ColonialArchitecture #ColonialGuayaquil #Guayaquil #Ecuador #Photography #EastCoastKin
An eye-level shot looks down a narrow, cobblestone alleyway between two buildings with brightly colored flags strung overhead, crisscrossing the sky. The building on the left is light blue with brown window frames and has a framed picture hanging near the entrance. The building on the right is light pink with dark brown shutters on its windows. Both buildings have traditional architecture with sloping roofs. In the distance, the alley curves to the right, and more colorful flags are visible, stretching further down the street. The sky above is white and clear, indicating an overcast day.

This photo captures a vibrant, ornately decorated blue-and-white colonial-style building. The central feature is a tall, arched double door painted a muted gray, surrounded by elaborate white floral stucco designs on a blue background. Two vintage-style black lanterns flank the door. Above, there’s a balustrade with classical columns and decorative urns on each corner. Four young people—three women and one man—are walking briskly past the building on a wet sidewalk, suggesting recent rain. The architecture is grand and elegant, contrasting with the casual modern clothing of the passersby. A plaque and house number “169” are visible on the facade. Photo Credit: © Gregory Rothman 2023

Feel the warm sun on your skin, hear the gentle clip-clop of horse-drawn carriages, and let the vibrant colors of Cartagena’s streets sweep you away. #Cartagena #WalledCity #TravelMoments #ColonialArchitecture #StreetPhotography #HistoricTravel #ExploreColombia #TravelVibes #Wanderlust #CulturalHer
A Dance of Colors and Stories in Cartagena’s Historic Heart
Walking through Cartagena’s Walled City, the streets awaken your senses. Colorful alleys and grand colonial facades greet you like old friends, warm and full of stories. At Calle de los Camellos, golden plaques whisper history, while the salty breeze carries the clip-clop of horses and distant laughter. Sunlight spills over balconies carved like lace, and emerald shops beckon, promising treasures behind heavy wooden doors.

Ermita del Rosario in La Antigua, Veracruz. This chapel was the first one built in the Americas, in 1523.

#Mexico #LaAntigua #Veracruz #photography #travel #history #travel #ErmitaDelRosario #ColonialArchitecture #Church
Photograph of the Ermita del Rosario (Hermitage of the Rosary), a historic church in La Antigua, Veracruz, Mexico. The church is a small, single-story building with white stucco walls and Spanish Colonial architectural features. It has a prominent bell gable (espadaña) with arched openings, arched doorways, and red tile roof accents. The building is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, including palm trees and flowering shrubs. The sky is a pale, slightly overcast blue. The building is set back a little from a paved surface. Photograph of the interior of the Ermita del Rosario, a historic church in La Antigua, Veracruz, Mexico. The view is towards the altar, which is a simple, whitewashed structure. A crucifix hangs on the wall above the altar. Below the crucifix is a framed piece of art and a statue of a saint (possibly the Virgin Mary) adorned with flowers. Additional floral arrangements are placed on the altar and in front of it. The walls are whitewashed, with some areas of exposed brick or stone, and a pale blue arched ceiling. Wooden pews and a wooden railing are visible in the foreground. The floor is tiled Photograph of the exterior of the Ermita del Rosario, a historic white-walled church in La Antigua, Veracruz, Mexico. The church features Spanish Colonial architectural elements, including a bell gable and arched doorways. Tall palm trees frame the building, and the foreground shows a lush garden with green grass, a pathway, and various tropical plants, including a shrub that may be a Garden Croton. The sky is barely visible. Photograph of an outdoor shrine or altar dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. The central element is a large, rectangular tile mural depicting the Virgin of Guadalupe in her traditional iconography: standing on a crescent moon, surrounded by a radiant mandorla (almond-shaped halo), with a blue-green cloak and a flowing robe. The mural is brightly colored, and around the Virgin are depictions of angels and various national flags. Below the mural, on a ledge, are various offerings, including vases of flowers, potted plants, and candles. The shrine is made of white-painted material, possibly concrete or stucco.

Paraty's architecture reflects its Portuguese colonial heritage. White walls were common in colonial towns to keep buildings cool by reflecting sunlight and the blue paint, inspired by maritime culture, symbolizes the sea and sky.

I recently contributed to a preservation plan for a late 18th-century home on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. It holds stories of agricultural development, slavery, and economic prosperity and struggle.
