Cartagena, Colombia

Without looking for it, we found blue everywhere in Cartagena – in the walls, the skies, the seas, in the beaded necklaces and the words of poets. But far from melancholy, it was electric. It was, like everything else in Colombia, full of passion, full of vigour and joy.

Aw, I like the photo with the pup peeking through the balcony! It looks like my dog, except mine’s a little less matted. 😉 Lovely shades of blue.

I find it fascinating how wear and tear can manage to be very aesthetically beautiful.

Beautiful! I got a wonderful postcard from my boyfriend from Cartagena that was generally brown and orange. It’s nice to see those pops of blue to help fill in my colours!
