The colors are so vivid. One could not help but feel cheered by the artist palate that are the buildings there. Wonderful. I especially like the lamp shadow.<br /><br />Again, you made me curious. William Walker (May 8, 1824 – September 12, 1860) was a US lawyer, journalist and adventurer, who organized several private military expeditions into Latin America, with the intention of establishing English-speaking colonies under his personal control, an enterprise then known as "filibustering." Walker became president of the Republic of Nicaragua in 1856 and ruled until 1857, when he was defeated by a coalition of Central American armies. He was executed by the government of Honduras in 1860.<br /><br />Funny that filibustering means something so different now. Looks like Mr. Walker got what he deserved. <br /><br />Great history lesson. Fantastic photos. Admirable adventures.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537194343288478024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213724682902859333.post-34309253966921370852012-07-13T00:18:22.914-07:002012-07-13T00:18:22.914-07:00Wow the buildings look so amazing so much history ...Wow the buildings look so amazing so much history to them.
