Rio Dulce, Guatemala
This is a try-out. It should be possible to tell in an email where I
want what picture. This email is an exercise with this. To try out if
I can place pictures in my text where I want. If it works, my reports
will fundamentally change.
Castillo San Felipe.
I would’t call it a castillo, there is no space to live there. It is
pure a bunker out of the middle-ages or a bit later. The whole place
is build to defend. It is build to defend—not the people in the
castillo—but more like a lock on a door.
It has a wall all around itself and even something like a gracht—a channel with water—around it.
Beside guns and some trees, there are no obstacles on the ground. This
is strange in the tropics.
Normally this would be tropical forest.
Good as defense, but hard to defend.
This is on the first floor. You can only walk around and have this prefect view. Accessible, but unlivable.
Strategically important.
Nice view over the Rio Dulce, from where the danger would come.
The castillo is a symbol of gone times, of an old structure, something that was and never will have the same function again. (if this works, I will give you some examples of the modern castillos in Guatemala).
The last narrow spot before a big lake. The lock
on the door for what was behind it. Big ships with gold, ready to
leave to Spain when the season was there.
