A glimpse into life in a Venezuela town - Monomad challenge.
80% of the time I carry my camera with me wherever I go but this was one of those times I didn't take it because I had to quickly run an errand in one of the nearby cities and the truth is that I didn't know what I would find there and I didn't imagine I would see so many photo opportunities, I couldn't contain myself and I started taking photos with my phone.
This is a fairly small and hardworking city (or town), to my surprise I saw many people carrying market bags like this:
El 80% del tiempo llevo mi camara conmigo a donde sea que vaya pero esta fue una de esas ocasiones en la que no la llevé porque tuve que ir rapido a hacer una diligencia en una de las ciudades mas cercanas y la verdad es que no sabia que me encontraria alli y no me imaginé que veria tantas fotos por hacer, no pude contenerme y empecé hacer fotos con mi telefono.
Esta es una ciudad bastante pequeña y trabajadora, para mi sorpresa vi muchas personas cargando bolsas de mercados de esta manera:
Later, talking to some people from the place, I discovered that there is a producing town nearby and they bring the vegetables to this place and they are sold very cheap here.
Mas tarde hablando con algunas persona del lugar, descubrí que hay un pueblito productor cerca y ellos traen las verduras a este lugar y se venden muy baratas aquí.
This place has its own virgin called Virgen de la Consolacion and in this place they love her very much.
Este lugar tiene su propia virgen llamada Virgen de la consolacion y en este lugar la aman mucho.
I saw a church:
Vi una iglesia :
And in contrast to the previous photo, very close by there was a funeral home and the facade was old and interesting:
Y en contraste con la foto anterior, muy cerca de alli habia una funeraria y la fachada era antigua e interesante:
While walking I saw an arch made of trees and I thought it was super interesting to take a photo of it.
Mientras caminaba vi un arco hecho de arboles y me parecio super interesante hacerle una foto
Then I waited for someone to pass by so I could take an even better photo!
Luego esperé que alguien pasara por alli para poder hacer una foto aun mejor!
In Venezuela it is very common to see people selling cups of coffee on the street:
En venezuela es muy comun ver personas vendiendo tazas de café en la calle:
Something typical of the small towns of Venezuela is that they sell "typical sweets" and this place would be no exception so I took a photo:
Algo tipico de los pueblitos de venezuela es que vendan "dulces tipicos" y este lugar no seria la excepcion asi que le tomé una foto:
I hope these photos of a glimpse into life in Venezuela seemed as interesting to you as they did to me!
Espero que estas fotos de un vistazo en la vida de venezuela les hayan parecido tan interesante como a mi!
