I have finally finished editing photographs from this recent trip to Antigua, Guatemala and I want to share them with you so you can see why I love this place so much.
The following photographs are of buildings and details that I took while roaming the streets which we did every single day.

Even the tattoo parlors are attractive.  Wait for it...

I also love to stumble across niches and tiles that feature different saints or the Virgin de Guadalupe.

While there a lot of residences in town with pristine facades, fresh coats of paint and well cared for wooden doors, there are also many facades with years of weather, sun, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that have contributed to their beautiful patina.

And in case you are wondering, yes the sky is that blue pretty much all of the time.
