    It’s nice to see pictures of Columbia on RB. And your pictures are beautiful. In the United States, the only time we see pictures of Columbia is when somebody blows something up. Great to get other perspectives!

  • Alessandro Pinto replied

    Thanks Robert..you are always so kind and yes..I agree with you, it´s great to see from other perspectives, my experience in Colombia has been very good and people very nice to me !

    The architecture is wonderful, the colors even better! Love the bright red pots and green trees against the yellow. Great scene!
    Thanks, too, for your earlier comment on Primary. I just returned from vacation, so am just now getting back to RB after a month.

    What a powerful cinematic quality you’ve presented. You’ve set off an imaginative story in this glorious coastal city which should be the perfect place for a plot filled with action, mystery, and romantic explosion. All of which you hint at here in this powerful capture. Thanks for sharing.

    Love this one. I have a very good friend who is Colombian, and my daughter’s fiancee is also Colombian. I would very much like to visit that country, but then I would also like to visit Italy, Spain, France and England. Any way, I live in Puerto Rico and this looks a little like Old San Juan. But of course, it is because the Spaniards invaded these countries and so they built in the same style.
