Color Chips: Rincon Collection 2007

Third winter trip to Rincon in three years. The last one is here.

Puerto Rican color is hot, bright and at times, slightly melancholy with faded glory. These colors were shot on a sunny February day (@ 82 degrees) and mostly cover concrete. Concrete is the building material of PR. It is everywhere. Locals find great ways of dressing it up, and mimicking the vibrant color of the natural growth all around.

Concrete is the material of choice to prevent mayor structural damages in hurricane season.People may think that is not a cool material to built but properties here never, ever decline in property value.Rincon is a wonderful surf town with great seafood in the North side of PR.Quiet and sometimes rustic. I suggest that you go to San Juan, especially the Old District. It is an architectural jewel resembling the old streets of Seville with amazing nightlife. Congrats, Maxwell for making PR your choice of vacation for 3 years.
