Colombian Sunset
Personal memory by Lina Pinzon Mendoza
2016 • Cartagena, Cartagena, Bolívar, Colombia
I could easily walk through the giant wall of stone and see the beauty of the seas and a sunset that might be confused by a fireball. However, I saw how both nature masterpieces were separated by an avenue that would connect a different point of the city. Yes, it helped citizens and even I as a tourist to go to different parts of the city but, I would rather walk through another route to see the seas crash against this giant wall; and let the pollution of transportation away from the beauty of the Creation, something that only would be disrupted by mankind.
