Electric Wire Grid and Volcanoes Wallpaper

Wire Grid and Volcanoes

Although this image is not as elegant and clean as the one shown in Fire and Acatenango Volcanoes Wallpaper, I thought, some of you may enjoy having it as wallpaper for your desktops over the weekend. If you do, download the image (1600×1200) Electric Wire Grid and Volcanoes Wallpaper.

I don’t know why I have a fascination for this horrible electric wire grids or webs that break up into pieces, the otherwise, gorgeous sky line around La Antigua Guatemala. Well you can at least use this visual noise as wallpapers for your computer.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Architectonic Design Elements in La Antigua Guatemala

Architectonic Design Elements in La Antigua Guatemala

La Antigua Guatemala is like a huge living catalog of colonial architectonic design elements. You can walk around the town armed with a camara, notepad and pencil and an eye for detail to capture all the beauty that make up the architecture of The Very Noble and Very Loyal City of Sait James of the Knights of Guatemala. All the colonial architectonic design elements make this an enchanting and haunting little town. It is, certainly, more than the sum of its elements.

The photograph above captures another aspect of El Palacio de Doña Leonor in La Antigua Guatemala.

Guatemalan Flag at Municipalidad de La Antigua Guatemala

The Missing Flag Game:

There is a missing flag on the other staff; all you have to do is name the missing flag and describe the colors of it and why. Both answers are in the archives of La Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo. The first complete answer gets five post cards made from photographs from this site sent via Guatemalan regular post mail. Guatemalans living in Guatemala, especially antigüeños are excluded from participating. Let the game begin.

Good luck to all participants!

With the Rainy Season Comes the Rainbow Season

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

black and white rainbow

In Guatemala the rainy season brings the rainbow season too. The rainy season in Guatemala wets the months or May through October, sometimes even November which are basically the summer and fall seasons in the Northern Hemisphere where Guatemala is located. Most Guatemalans equate the wet months of May though October with winter, so they call it invierno, winter, even though we are in the summer season. Are you confused yet? Well read up my entry on The Land of the Eternal Spring for some clarification or to totally give up on logic.

Tomorrow is Father’s Day in Guatemala, always on the same date, June 17th. I hope to catch something for you.

UPDATE: For a humoristic look at the weather and weather forecasting in Guatemala and to see an unbelievable photograph of thunderstorm in Guatemala City, please read El Canche’s entry on Predicting the Weather in Guatemala.
