Default Antigua and my life before

On September 29, 1717, an estimated 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit Antigua Guatemala, and destroyed over 3,000 buildings. Much of the city's architecture was ruined. And it's still like that.


Antigua vida mía



P.S. The title of the photo is from a novel by "Marcela Serrano".

Nice photo. The red on the car really pops out even with the dark overcast. I like the wideness of the shot too. Dont know if you used a wide angle lense or something but it looks great

It was with the 18-105 lens of the kit. Shot at 18mm.

This is an excellent shot...the contrast between the bright red car and the damaged building is perfect.
