Every month, around Full Moon time, I try to catch a full moon rise over a ruin, unfortunately most months we have heavily overcast skies during these periods. Every once in a while though, I get clear skies or spare clouds which allow me to get another full moon shot. More often, though, I have … Read more
I don’t want to brag or anything, but this how the volcanoes skyline looked right before sunset today. No storms or snow in sight and the temperature was 22C / 72F. Don’t you wish you were in Antigua Guatemala right now?
Today I am sharing with you a panoramic vista of the volcanoes Fuego and Acatenango as seen from Portal del Ayuntamiento, or the City Hall corridor in the north side of Parque Central. I hope you enjoy it and let me know your thoughts.
During the dry season, when there are less clouds in the skyline, one can really appreciate the continuous eruptions of Volcán de Fuego. This framed vista of Fuego erupting was made during a recent photo walk where I was sharing some of my best spots to photograph the hyperactive Fuego volcano.
Well, it looks like in 2021 the Christmas decorations will put away much sooner than under normal circumstances. Just yesterday I shared what the Christmas lights in the shape of wings looked like and today they are gone.
For this Christmas season, Calle del Arco was decorated with Xmas lights in the shape of angel’s wings. This is what they look like during the day. You can imagine how enchanting Calle del Arco looked during the blue hour and night time. If I get a chance, I will do a follow up post … Read more
With this photograph of the Parroquia de San José Catedral framed through one of the arches of the Palacio del Ayuntamiento we conclude a short tour through the sights of the volcanoes surrounding La Antigua Guatemala. Let us know which one is your favorite.
Fuego volcano puffing about rooftops is another typical sight from Antigua Guatemala. Fuego volcano could make this photograph better if it had give us an eruption, even a tiny one, don’t you agree? Nevertheless, I still like the play of light and shadows at the frontispiece of this rooftop.
The two obvious elements of what make this typical sight of Antigua Guatemala are the Acatenango volcano and the cupola. The less obvious, yet as important is the gorgeous light we often have in Antigua Guatemala at the margins of the day. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I did making it!
Let me take you in a photographic tour through some of the sunset cloudscapes found in the photo library of AntiguaDailyPhoto. Enjoy! Baroque architecture at sunset Sunset and Fuego Volcano Antigua’s Style Lamp Silhouette
Volcán de Fuego seems to be more active during the dry season that spans from November through April, but the reality is we are just able to see more eruptions as the skies have less clouds, a lot less clouds during those months.
Even though we still get some heavy rains during October and some light rain in November, we could say that dry season begins in October. The quality of the light changes as well as the cold winds from the true north begin to arrive. The days begin to change overcast skies to clear skies. Sunsets … Read more

Sometimes, only sometimes, especially during the rainy season, we forget briefly about the colossal volcano Fuego eruptions. However, the moment the cloudy skies clear up, there it is, always with a surprising new eruption, which never get old or boring.
