This shot
I painted and sold; it is in my portfolio. Pirates
used to come to try to rob and pillage Porto
Bello. The Spanish people had guns on the
other shore also. So they were pretty well
protected. Hope you enjoy.
Most Spectacular. Accomplished. Richly entertaining, & creative. well intended to represent specific places and people from a different era,and sharing invaluable comments
I love the old forts overlooking the water. I am sure there is enough history here to fill many volumns. To bad that a lot of the real history gets lost but this beautiful photo will help to preserve some of it.
the landscape here is just so special,so much to work with for someone with your ability with the camera and later for your wonderful watercolors or acrylics.beautifully captured!
