La Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo

Tomorrow the La Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo (LAGDP) will be two years old. About 744 consecutive daily photographs and descriptive narratives of a Spanish Colonial Town embedded between coffee plantations, flower farms and volcanoes.

As a pre-celebration party, I am making available another desktop wallpaper for you computer (1600×1200 pixels) of a set of bougainvilleas colors. Like always, by clicking the photo above you will be presented with a high resolution image that you can use as a desktop wallpaper. If you are interested in the other wallpapers available for download, please, browse the wallpaper category.

Second Anniversary Side Note: By the way, I forgot to tell you that La Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo (LAGDP) will be celebrating its second anniversary (731 consecutive days of entries) on May 1st. I hope you come to celebrate this amazing milestone (at least for me).

Today’s is Earth Day and to celebrate it, I am posting a desktop wallpaper photo for your computer which shows the harmony between the human habitat and nature. Wow, what a pompous description for an old-looking wall and the bougainvilleas and jacaranda trees that crown it.

Today’s entry is the desktop wallpaper number 9 which I made available to all of you. You can browse the Wallpaper category to see the other 8 photos.

I hope you like it!

Please be kind to Earth today and everyday.

Here is yet another textured old wall that can be used as wallpaper or desktop image in your computer. This image even includes the electric meter so you can keep a log of how much electricity you are using while in front of your computer.

Remember that you can also browse the Wallpapers category for another 7 images of La Antigua Guatemala that can be used as wallpaper or desktop images for your desktop PC, Mac or Linux workstation. To download the images as wallpapers, all you need to do is click the photos in this site and you will be taken to a larger-size image (1600×1200) that you can download. The rest depends on the operating system you use.

I hope you enjoy them. Let me know either way.

There has been a lot of rain lately in Guatemala and so the photo taken process has slowed down a bit; at least for me. Still, I have to go out on the rain to make the daily quota of photos from La Antigua Guatemala so I can keep you guys happy. The comments have dwindled to the point where I think nobody is interested in these photos anymore, except for you, my permanent visitor. I continue to take photos and do this daily routine for you…

You just have to be a bit more creative with the rain and the white and gray skies. For instance, a visit to our garden for some macro photos gave us this close-up shot of two rain drops on top a nopal penca (cactus pad) to be used as a possible wallpaper for your desktop computer. If you would like other Antigua Guatemala wallpapers for your computer, please, take a look at the wallpapers category. I hope you like options available there. Let me know either way.

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!

Volcán de Fuego (”Volcano of Fire”) is an active stratovolcano in Guatemala. It is close to the city of Antigua Guatemala. It has erupted frequently since the Spanish conquest. “Fuego” is famous for being almost constantly active at a low level. Smoke issues from its top daily, but larger eruptions are rare. The last eruption occurred in 2006. The volcano is joined with Acatenango and collectively the complex is known as La Horqueta. (Source: Wikipedia)

I like the graphic, almost an illustration, feel of this photograph. Also, it lends itself as a wallpaper for your desktop PC, Mac or Linux workstation with its clean lines.

Since the volcanoes Agua, Fuego and Acatenango show up often in the background of many of the photos I present here, I decided to give you a satellite view of the volcanoes and their close relationship to La Antigua Guatemala. Below you will find a screen capture of Google Maps that shows the volcanoes. Click this link to go to Google Maps and zoom in even further into the volcanoes or even Antigua Guatemala.

I hope you enjoy this particular view of Southern Guatemala. Don’t forget to click on the image below to get a larger version so you can read the call outs.

If I’m not mistaken, Isabella, from Naples, Florida Daily Photo, said that she became more aware of her surroundings after she began her daily photo blog. She thanked Eric, from Paris Daily Photo, for coming up a great idea, sharing it and creating the awesome community we now are. The same thing happen to me and to prove it I will show you one my favorites shots: Palo de Izote Tree. These trees are next door to my office in Antigua Guatemala and I had never seen them before, in four years. After I started this site on May 1st, I became really aware. Thanks Eric, we took the red pill.
