Nicaragua

With this Gallery I tried something different. Rather than grouping the images under topics I gathered them as a continuous visual experience of this special country. Sometimes colors connect one image with the next, another time shapes, contents or something more subconscious does - though it is not chronological.

I hope you like my way to introduce you to Nicaragua.
Please share your thoughts on this one.

On a side note: A pity with most of the pictures is their over-exposure - the reason being the very high light intensity that close to the equator which I didn't consider nor managed very well back then with my 'analog' SLR (2005).
