PhotoFeed Contest - Portrait Photography Round 157: Sacred [ENG/ESP]
“There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places.”
Wendell Berry

Sacred
Located a short distance from the city of San Felipe, the Exotic Tropical Flora Park, which opened to the public in 1996, was during the 18th century the Mission of Our Lady of Carmen, founded by Friar Joseph of Cadiz, of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, in what was then the Captaincy General of Venezuela.
The old chapel from that era was completely restored, preserving its colonial architecture with rooms enclosed by adobe walls and roofs of cane and tiles, wide interior corridors, and leafy trees in its courtyards.
I took these two photos from my personal archive many years ago during a brief visit to this beautiful place.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Sagrado
Ubicado a corta distancia de la ciudad de San Felipe, el Parque de la Exótica Flora Tropical inaugurado al público en 1996, fue durante el Siglo XVIII, la Misión Nuestra Señora del Carmen, fundada por Fray Joseph de Cádiz, de la Orden de los Hermanos Menores Capuchinos en lo que entonces era la Capitanía General de Venezuela.
La antigua capilla aquella época, fue restaurada por completo conservando su arquitectura colonial con salones encerrados entre paredes de adobe y techos de caña brava y teja, amplios corredores interiores y frondosos árboles en sus patios.
Este par de fotos de mi archivo personal, las tomé muchos años atrás durante una breve visita que realizáramos a este hermoso lugar.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.

All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
This is my entry for the PhotoFeed Portrait Photography Contest. This is an initiative of @photofeed
