This is the 4th and final thread from my 2 week stay in Colombia in January.

One thing Colombia does really well are Christmas light displays.  The cool thing is these displays follow the calendar of the Catholic church, so they stay up until the Feast of the Epiphany (around a week into January).  The first two pictures are from Puente de Boyaca, the site of a battle won by Simon Bolivar against the Spanish.

So so jealous.  I'm especially jealous how clean, vibrant, and colorful these small cities are in Colombia...versus Estados Unidos.

Except for the dog poop in some of these small cities, I agree.  These small cities are so much more active, and the Colombian people are so much happier...I do miss it!

wow nice to see this -- i am especially a night shot fan, so especially good work there.

 

one thing i noticed in the cityscape views is that it is either dense or greenery vs usa style sprawl.

 

 

so glad you got this trip in before the corona!

Thanks, that is very true, it is either density in the form of small cities, big cities, or villages, or countryside with no sprawl in between.  In fact, my ex lives in what is considered to be a safe, family oriented neighborhood in the outskirts of the city.  But look at how dense this neighborhood is:
