SAN JUAN SKYLINE DURING THE BLUE HOUR

8/4/2016

Comments

 
This shot was taken from the upper deck of the Carnival Fascination Ship while docked at the Old San Juan Pier. This time (blue hour) is just before the appearance of the sun or just after it, when the light is soft enough to emphasize most of the dark of the scene, and yet not so dark that it necessitates the use of additional light source. Enjoy!!!

64/365 LA FORTALEZA

11/18/2014

Comments

 
La Fortaleza (The Fortress) is the current official residence of the Governor of Puerto Rico. It was built between 1533 and 1540 to defend the harbor of San Juan. The structure is also known as Palacio de Santa Catalina (Santa Catalina's Palace). It is the oldest executive mansion in continuous use in the New World. It was listed by UNESCO in 1983 as part of the World Heritage Site "La Fortaleza and San Juan National Historic Site".

During the 1640 reconstruction, the chapel of Santa Catalina, which originally existed outside of the walls, was demolished and was integrated to the walls of the structure, resulting in the alternate name Santa Catalina's Palace. Enjoy!!!

54/365 GARITA

11/8/2014

Comments

 
These were the outposts of protection for the island of San Juan against attacks by sea and by land, the loneliest job of all had to go to the sentries who manned the garitas of the forts.


They are the official symbol of San Juan, and it’s easy to see why.  There is something a bit romantic about them. They’re photogenic, of course, standing out high above and in stark contrast to the brilliant blue of the sky. Enjoy!!!
