Here is a photo from Granada, Nicaragua. It's a nice little touristy kind of town on the shore of Lake Nicaragua and it's well known for its Spanish colonial architecture and brightly painted buildings. I didn't do much here besides renting a bicycle and riding around town. Sadly the main thing I remember this town for is watching the Packers choke against the Seahawks in the division championship game two years ago.
As for this photo, I was walking around sunset time and took a particular liking to this colorful old building. I just camped outside of it for a few minutes waiting for an interesting subject to cross in front of it, because obviously just a picture of a building is boring! It was mostly cars, so I had to wait a bit, but eventually this guy pedaling around this girl passed by and made for a nice shot. My shutter speed was a little slower than I would have liked, hence the slight blurriness of the girl, but not enough to ruin the photo. Her smile says something more about the laid back attitude of the locals, I'd like to think.

Welcome aboard! Well of course I would recommend getting outside of the States for a bit, but Monterey Bay seems like as good of a place as any to not want to leave.
