I Took Some Pictures Today


I took a walk today and actually took the camera with me. Most of the pics (link above on pic or text) were just random pics. Not pics of monuments, churches, architecture or any of the usual "pretty things". I am able to take a couple walks a week of 2 hours or more. (Today was almost 3 hours.) These are exercise type walks...not a casual stroll. FYI the building above is completely faced with tile. Take a close look at it ..... very cool.
Anyway, today I took the camera and would occasionally take it out and take a couple shots in different directions.
On a few of the pics, it may look like I left the city and was in the country. Not true. There are 4 rivers that run through Cuenca. Also you can be walking in a "neighborhood" and see a very fine (expensive) house and next door could be a falling down old place or a vacant lot with old tires in it or someones little corn patch. Neighborhoods as we know them in the US, don't seem to exist here. I don't believe there is any such thing as zoning laws.
Cuenca is a great town for walking! It is not like taking a walk in Topeka.

  1. What the hell dude, shouldn't you be in Kansas mowing lawns? Instead you are down in Equador snapping photos of tile covered houses in your "Not from Panama" hat!

    Stay safe! Enjoy the affordable health care while you can!
