Nothing pretty here, and that’s the point. Corrugated metal, naked brick, patch jobs and proud improvisation. This is housing as verb, not noun. Built in pieces, held with grit. It holds up because it has to.

It looks like a pastel avalanche at first - then you start to notice the order. Streets cut diagonally, rooftops overlap, colour repeats. Bogotá’s southern barrios weren’t built for aesthetics, but somehow they got there anyway. A DIY rainbow with a pulse.

Hard to miss the mural peeking from below the tower, staring straight at the lens. A reminder: these aren’t anonymous rooftops. People live here. Watch here. Wait here. What looks like chaos from the distance is someone’s front porch up close.

The lot isn’t for sale. The mural isn’t asking. The gaze from the painted mother says everything: protection, history, defiance. Ciudad Bolívar’s murals aren’t just pretty, they’re declarations. Memory on brick. Resistance with good shading.

Angostura Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the Orinoco River at Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela. The Spanish word Angostura means "narrows". Built in 1967 at a cost of US$35million, the bridge has a main span of 712 metres. Until the opening of the Second Orinoco crossing 100 km downstream near Ciudad Guayana on 13 November 2006 it was the only bridge across the Orinoco.
Luis and I visited the UNESCO Heritage Site of Canaima National Park in Venezuela twice: once in the wet season and once in the dry. The experience was very different each time: the numerous waterfalls of the park were fuller and more impressive in the wet season, but we were drenched due to the near constant rainfall. The park is home to the tallest waterfall in the world, Angel Falls (Salto Angel), but the park itself is filled with amazing topography like the towering flat-top mountains known by their indiginous name tepuis (tepuys). The tepuis are so isolated that many host species of wildlife and plants that evolved separately from other areas and are still found nowhere else on earth. This photo was taken during from our canoe on a four-day trip as we were paddling down one of the many rivers from one camp to another. It's hard to capture the majesty of the landscape in a photo; coming around a bend in the river and suddenly catching sight of these stone giants momentarily takes your breath away.

A perfectly off-kilter portrait of symmetry gone rogue. That turquoise-and-tangerine box isn’t trying to impress anyone, but it still owns the frame. Props to the cactus holding court in busted paint tins. Even the yellow cab seems to know it’s part of a bigger scene.

The main square of Ciudad Bolivar, a small town in the Southwest of the Antioquia Province. The square has beautiful old "árbol de samán" trees that provide shade.

El buen amigo y entusiasta de la fotografia Bernardo Moreno nos invito a Ciudad Bolivar a almorzar, conocer y por supuesto a tomar fotos.
Despues de la puesta de sol, los imponentes colores se mantuvieron por bastante tiempo, y desde el paseo con un lente de 200mm pude obtener esta toma.
Using tiny airplanes has some advantages: you can see what your pilot is doing. This one was writing sms all the way;)) And the portable navigator he used was very similar to the one I use for driving;))

This is a Valentine & Sons Ltd “Silveresque” postcard posted to Hereford in April 1955, there are three clues to the date of the photograph. The first Ealing Studios film in Technicolor, “Saraband for Dead Lovers” played at the Leicester Square Theatre from 9th September until 7th October 1948. The film starred Stewart Granger, Joan Greenwood and Flora Robson with a supporting role played by Christopher Lee. The film, “The Weaker Sex” played at the Odeon, Marble Arch from 25th September until 14th October, it is advertised on a hoarding and on the side of a bus bottom left. It starred Cecil Parker, Ursula Jeans and Joan Hopkins with Thora Hird in a supporting part. At the London Pavilion the American film noir mystery, “Sleep, My Love” starring Claudette Colbert, Robert Cummings and Don Ameche played from 23rd September until 7th October. The small sign above the Wrigley's chewing gum sign which says “Say Siegert’s” is an advertisement for Dr. J.G.B. Seigert’s "Bouquet Rum" but his most famous product was Angostura Bitters, the essential ingredient for a proper Pink Gin. Dr. Siegert was an Army Doctor with a Prussian Regiment at the Battle of Waterloo and in 1820 he travelled to Venezuela where the revolutionary, Simon Bolivar was attempting to wrest the country away from the Spanish Empire. Dr. Siegert based himself in the port of Angostura at the mouth of the Orinoco River and originally developed the bitters as a remedy for upset stomachs, a common ailment in the tropics. The town later changed its name to Ciudad Bolivar. The remedy was taken to other countries by sailors who visited the port and the demand grew. After Dr. Siegert’s death, his sons moved the factory to Trinidad because of the unstable political situation in Venezuela, nothing new there then, the company remain in Trinidad to this day. It is said that only one person outside the Siegert family knows what exactly goes into the concoction at any one time, the family were so paranoid about the secret recipe getting out that just before the war they lodged a copy in a Port of Spain Bank, another one in a safe in the factory and a third was cut into four pieces and a piece was sent to an attorney in New York. When safe delivery was acknowledged another piece was sent and so on until the copy was complete. Today with the explosion of Gin brands you can get a Pink Gin already mixed in the bottle although it may be coloured and flavoured by Rhubarb, Strawberries, Raspberries and any number of other adulterations, but for a proper Pink Gin it’s got to be Angostura Bitters.
The stop sign shouts but life keeps moving. Layers of painted concrete spill down the hill, stitched with power lines and quiet routine. This is density with a view, colour with context. Look past the mess and you’ll find geometry, gesture, and something like grace.

This is what happens when urban planning loses the fight and people make it work anyway. Wires tangle like thoughts at 3 am. Facades pop in sugar-rush pastels. A single red car dozes in the centre like it’s seen it all and knows it’s not moving any time soon.

El pasado 16 de septiembre 2011 se registraron fuertes combates entre miembros del Ejército y la guerrilla de las FARC en la vereda El Credo del municipio de Caloto, Cauca. La acción de un explosivo destruyó la vivienda de una humilde familia indígena, ocasionando 8 personas heridas y la muerte de la niña MARYI VANESA COICUE, de 11 años.
