A little explanation is probably in order. My wife and I have moved to Panama. However, for 6 weeks between selling our Utah home and getting title here we were living out of suitcases and mostly moving to a new Airbnb each week. At one point we decided the next Airbnb should be in Cartagena, Colombia. I loved it.
However, the street vendors in the historical district are relentless and nothing identifies one as a gringo quicker than a big camera. I carried it one day, shot a lot of stuff, and relied on my mobile phone after that.
At one point I decided to tell them I speak German (which is true). Three of the first four I tried that on starting speaking German to me!!!
Anyway, here are three shots of Cartagena I liked:

Cartagena is one of my favorite cities I lived in, second to Medellin.
Nice photos.

Most interesting and compelling vantage points in your images. Lovely composition and lighting as well. Very creative and well captured.

Nice series. Thank you.
A beautiful city. The historic area is phenomenal and the doors/hardware are eye catching.
