October 2007, El Morro, Old San Juan. Construction for this fortress began in 1539 and spanned 250 years. Although these rooms are vacant now, the walls reverberate with a silent history–oh, how I wish they could speak!
Number three (for me) in Mark’s Project Looking Through, a photo challenge encouraging views that give the sensation of looking through.
250 years??? Someone hired the wrong contractor. Ha ha. This is a great shot for PLT. The repetition of the arches is very eye catching. The simplicity of the tones give it a relaxed feel; something that may not be expected within a fortress. I can tell you’re enjoying this photo challenge. Keep up the great work.
Well done! Indeed, if walls could talk…
Very, very nice. Love the series of arches.
Ooh. I love this one. The colors are so soothing!
I think my family would like to play hide and seek in this fortress!
Great shot, Robin. I love the muted colors, depth, and “scope for the imagination.” 🙂
Love, Jeanne
Really a lovely picture, I love the symmetry (sp.) of the doorways.

Nice one! It’s so simple, but very interesting to look at.
Very nice, Robin! I absolutely love this shot. 😀
Love it! Makes you want to wander through the doors–going through one then another then another until you discover the end of the maze.
Simple & beautiful!
Reminds me of the song, “Beauty of Simplicity.” Thanks for your thoughtful comments on my post about blog answers at my site. I really appreciated your input and was honored that you even commented. Have a great day.
Nice photo… Looks so cool and inviting and sort of mysterious too.
Beautiful view! I like this project…
I really really love this photo, it’s something I’d hang on my wall. I just want to walk through the arches.
Ohhhhhhh I LIKE that! How cool that you HAD it just waiting for THIS project! 😉
Beautiful! I wish I were there right now.
Another awesome picture from an awesome photographer! This makes me just want to run through the archways, and then back again, the next time slowing down to peek inside each room. The colors are comforting. It looks earthy, hard, cold and sandy, warm and soft at the same time.
