This is the final installment in a three-post series about two afternoons spent wandering the streets of Barrio Viejo. Until yesterday, I had planned a different series of images to wrap this up, but in the end I settled on this series of four that go together nicely. All four feature the graphic shapes of different varieties of cactus and brightly colored stucco walls.
I very much enjoyed my time exploring Barrio Viejo. For a relatively small area, there is a surprising amount of things to photograph. I am grateful that so many people in the neighborhood obviously take pride in picking a bright color that their neighbors somehow missed. I probably have enough images from these two outings to cobble together one more post, but they would be a bit of a hodgepodge and I think it is time for us to move on to something new for next week.
Also, I recently re-enabled the ability to leave comments on these posts because I would like to hear from you, so don’t be bashful!
Technical notes. The photographs in this post were taken with a Nikon Z7 and the Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 S. All were processed from RAW in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

The second shadows image looks especially effective, and I like the cactus/drainpipe for the parallelism of the structures.
Could it be good to round off your Barrio images even if it is with a “hodgepodge” (for some, “hotchpotch” for others)? I appreciate that tidiness is attractive but sometimes shuffle-play brings a different kind of reward. Your visit seems worth it.
Hmmm. Well, I trolled through my hodgepotch leftovers and there’s a good fifty images to mull over, some of which may well interest an amateur Egyptologist such as yourself. So, in the interest of encouraging and rewarding comments, I relent: unless I think of a better title (which I probably will) next week will be Barrio Encore.
Looking forward to it already! We “amateur Egyptologists” are a discerning crowd so prepare for adulation (or similar).
