This is My Guanajuato



Buildings of all differrent colors
European architecture
Mountains
Sky
Trees

Ahh....mi amor (my love)! This is Guanajuato. This is the place I spent my summer, grew in more ways than I can ever possibly describe, and where I want to eventually go back to with one of my best friends and her boyfriend. Most people romanticize their experiences in other countries and neglect to mention that everything was not always all roses and happiness.  While I had my share of trials and tribulations, I feel ready to take on much more in my life now and would not trade my experiences for the world.

Now back from my tangent, I will seek to analyze this photograph. This shows the incredible amount of houses and colors in Gto (Guanajuato). I literally find this images gives off the vibe of a sea of houses nestled inside green cascading hills. I feel like the sky does draw your eye to it since it is so bright, but the buildings draw your eye the most because of their increased saturation. Absolutely breathtaking, this photograph uplifts my spirits as well as my heart.

  1. Nice balance between the sky and the buildings.

    European architecture, but which part of Europe? Spanish colonial style for older buildings and modernist for newer ones?

  2. Good analysis of the way color works in the image. It would be interesting to desaturate it and see what is going on purely in terms of tonal contrasts (or lack thereof).

    It's also interesting how the cool blues & greens at the top of the image are complemented by the warmer reds, oranges, and yellows at the bottom.
