About two weeks ago I shared with you a photograph of the façade of the church of San Miguel Escobar in which I included two people and a street dog as size reference. Today I shared another vista of the same church as it was being painted by church volunteers while other receive the Sunday … Read more
Yellow and white have to be the most often used colors in churches in and around La Antigua Guatemala. Above we can see the proportion of the façade of San Miguel Escobar church compared to the people and mutt. In my humble opinion, the carefree dog makes the photograph so much interesting, what do you … Read more
One of the benefits of having a Holy Week every year is the fact that La Antigua Guatemala gets a new facelift every year and thus even though the colonial town is over 500 years old, it looks brand new; newer than most places in Guatemala at least. The vista above is quite common during … Read more
Regardless what you may be thinking right about now, this is not edible. Believe it when I tell you this is not a close up Antigüeño cake. However, it’s a sweet view. On the other hand, do you remember what church the close-up above belongs to?
It’s amazing what a paint job can do. The façade above belongs to the Church of San Pedro, which is the church for the Las Obras del Hermano Pedro Hospital. Well, if you go back in time to November 25th, 2007 and look at the same façade in the background of Marimba Chicken Bus and … Read more

The Cathedral of La Antigua Guatemala is used often as backdrop for musical recitals and events. Here we can see some workers setting up the stage for a concert.
The church of San Bartolo village has to be very new since its design is sober and simple, as opposed to the baroque architectonic style of Iglesia de La Merced. Don’t you think so?
This is the façade of Café No Sé in La Antigua Guatemala, headquarters of the John Rexer’s 1a avenida sur empire. His efforts to take control over the whole 1a avenida sur (1st Avenue South) are a little more humble than Pinky and The Brain Gutiérrez who want the whole world to convert to their tender, juicy and crunchy recipe of fried chicken. 😉
Okay, I am overwhelmed by such positive feedback regarding the one-year anniversary and the work done thus far. I don’t have the vocabulary at my disposal to let you know how grateful I am to hear (read) your kind words. Perhaps the best response is to continue the photographic journey and to strive at improving … Read more
