San Juan, Puerto Rico, does not have a city center, a downtown. A collection of neighborhoods and villages blended into one another as the area grew. However, what is now called Old San Juan is the city founded by Spain in the early 16th Century, a finger of land surrounded by water on three sides. Americans will understand what I mean when I say that in a way it reminds me of the French Quarter in New Orleans (without drunks weaving down the street) or Boston's North End (without the Red Sox caps), but very tropical and very Hispanic. Some touristy, some quiet, beautiful and lined with old homes of local people. Little groups of cats run in and out of vacant buildings, feral and thin. They belong to the neighborhood.Aerial photo of picture location in Old San Juan.
These guys really look like survivors, poor things.

ReplyDeleteOh fabulous photograph. Just love it. Such a story here, not just the cats but the wrought iron, the run down building, the sign that is hard to read. Great colours, great composition. Fab.
ReplyDeleteCuriosity of cats which is one of the them hide behind the wall make this photo very interesting to look at. Excellent shot!
