Lights Camera Action!!

Movie Set Bogota, Colombia

I stumbled across this movie set in Bogota, the other day. I struck up a converstion with the producer of the show and asked him if he needed any authentic looking actors, he gladly took my phone number and I'm still waiting for a call.

Contrast of Buildings

A tale of two buildings. The blue one is obvious care for with someone living in it and the other one with graffiti looks abandon or at best, just not well care for since this is an expense neighborhood in the Candelaria section of Bogota.

Another Working Horse

Horse pulling Cart

Yesterdays post featured working horses of another kind, horses that are well cared for and probably live in barns. This horse, works hard all day pulling a cart for his owner and having to dodge traffic along the way.

Work Horse

Down through the ages horses have always been use to assist man in his work, that still holds true today. As I was walking  the streets of Bogota, I could hear the sound of hoofs echoing down the street as the local police department were bring there horses back from a public display of there magnificent animals. I believe they had about a dozen horses that they were showing the public that day.

Mural

Mural, Bogota, Colombia

I came across this Mural the other day and wanted to photograph it. I didn't realize at first that there was a man passed out at the bottom of it. I felt bad for the poor guy for I really don't like showing people at there low point, but it also a fact of life in every major city through out the world, some worst than others.

Biking

Young rider on a short lease.

On Sundays, in Colombia, biking is very big. They even close one of the main drags in the city so that cyclist can ride freely without  having to watch for traffic.

Marimba Player

Humberto the Marimba Player

This young man was happyly playing his marimba on the streets of Bogota. He can be heard at  quite a distance as the sound of music echoed down the busy streets.  I actual saw him the next day in a completely different part of town. He really gets around and I don't think he has an agent.
