The center-point of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and a hub for the touristy historic area, the public square Plaza de Colón in San Juan.

A placeholder weekend post – a photo from my trip to Puerto Rico back in mid-March. I still haven’t quite finished all the editing work on those photos yet. Another image I shot while there, at Fort San Felipe del Morro, is now listed on Getty Images.

A couple more photos from my Puerto Rico trip back in March – I still haven’t finished the editing work on the last few shots.

A rockface near Fort San Felipe del Morro, Puerto Rico.

A walk around the wall of Old San Juan reveals this rockface that fronts the bay and weaves around to view the Atlantic Ocean. On a warm sunny afternoon like it was it’s a great place to watch the waves come in and hit the rocks on shore at the base of Fort San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

I just got back from a few days in Puerto Rico, which I was there mainly for my great-aunt’s 90th birthday surprise party. I had a couple of days to stroll around Old San Juan (it’s quite a bit different than the rest of the island), so I’ll have plenty of photos to edit and post soon hopefully. This shot was taken at El Morro, or to be more precise, the 16th century fortress Fort San Felipe del Morro on the north side of the island facing the Atlantic. Sunday morning, March 20th.

I hate leaving the photoblog static like that for a week but was too busy and overwhelmed before I left to prepare new material to post. Oops.
