Early Spring Morning in Isla Verde Beach

Early Spring Morning in Isla Verde Beach

Landscape Photography

Early Spring at Isla Verde Beach

The date gets closer for us to move from Isla Verde Beach.

The photos I have taken over a period of more than four years will serve as a way to remember this great experience.

Living on the beach was something I always wanted to do. Having the opportunity to live this dream is truly exceptional.

My daughter can say she woke up for most of her first years in this world looking at the Ocean and enjoying Beach life in the Caribbean.

Having been brought up in the Inner City around crime. I am exceptionally proud of the efforts myself, and my partner does to make sure our daughter has a better chance at life than we did.

El Convento de Santo Domingo de Porta Coeli – San German

Landscape Photography

Porta Coeli Church In San German

As a Kid, I fell in love with understanding history.  The town of San German can take some credit in nurturing that love for history.

One of the highlights of every summer vacation visiting the Island was stopping her in San German’s Porta Coeli.

Also known as the Convent church, or El Convento de Santo Domingo de Porta Coeli in Spanish is one of the oldest church structures in the western hemisphere.

A week ago I made an unplanned stop in San German.

For that reason, I had to stop at Porta Coeli, so I could my daughter the experience of seeing this old structure.

My daughter enjoyed looking at this cute and historic building.

Cruise Ship Leaving San Juan Bay In Front of El Morro Fort

Cruise Ship Leaving San Juan Bay In Front of El Morro Fort

Landscape Photography

Cruise Ship Leaving Old San Juan

I have seen many cruise ships leaving Old San Juan.

Some of them I have had the privilege of seeing up close like this one in San Juan El Morro Fort.

But the other day as I tried out my new Nikon lense I had the chance to capture one leaving Old San Juan Bay standing from the highest vantage point of El Morro Fort. 

It's interesting to see the harmony of the old technologies with newer technologies.

Standing on the fortification of one of the oldest cities on this side of the hemisphere. While I watched a floating city leave San Juan.

I wonder what my grandkids will be looking at.

My Thoughts on the Image

Given how busy I have been the past few months. I have began to maximize my day and changed my usual routines.

I have been waking up a lot later in the morning than usual.

It had been months since I had not woken up to see the sunrise. Much less go out and attempt to photograph it.

Today I did and I enjoyed every moment of it. Although the sun decided to hide behind the clouds.

As I walked back home I looked back and realized that this was a shot I wanted to take.

Never give up...

However, when I do, my income plummets.

but I think it’s vital to cover these events.

Can you help support my activism this way?⁣⁣

No, Thank You!

⁣⁣I’m usually very busy
