I took this picture of a highway in Lima, Peru. In this Picture there is an element of atmospheric perspective, since the buildings appear less clear as the distance from us increases. The bridge is an example of post-and-lintel architecture, the two uprights support the horizontal cross piece.
This is a picture of a building in the city of Lima. As mentioned before there is the presence of atmospheric perspective.
This is a statue I photographed in Lima. There is an implied shape of a triangle formed by the statue and its base.
This is also a statue in Lima, its is of Francisco Bolognesi, the man in charge of the victory in the war of Arica (Peru against Chile, June 7Th 1880). The color pink of the building and the green of the palm trees are complimentary colors that help adorn the statue of this hero.
I took this picture as we were going to visit family, it reminds me of the principle of rhythm shown in the trees.
This is a picture of a red juice stand, the color of the stand is bright and makes it stand out. Since this color is doing that, this picture has the element of emphasis and subordination. The subordinates are the pail colors behind the stand, they do not attract attention so the stand is what catches the attention of the eye.
Since Peru is a third world country, their income is very low. This is why some of the police cars look like this as oppose to the U.S. that has a new police car model every year. The white color of the car makes the black spray painted "Police" sign noticeable.
This is a picture that depicts the poverty of Peru. On the left side of this picture there is a man standing on the curve juggling for cars while the light is red, to receive a tip from those that can contribute. Like the stand before shown, this is what people have to doing order to eat every day in a third world country.
The sky blue building is the national soccer stadium of Peru, in Lima. I took the picture so that both palm trees hep focus the eye on the stadium.
This pale color stands out he colorful buckets on the floor, and stacked under the sink, the brooms on the left, and the flowers on the right. This is a picture of a laundry area. As a young girl living in Peru I have washed my clothes in this sink using buckets like those. There are washers and dryers, but many families cannot afford to purchase them so this is the traditional way of washing everything.
This building has a dome on the top of it, this was most likely an idea brought back from spain. To the right of the dome is a Peruvian flag. The main entrance and windows are round arrches. Above the entrance is a Peruvian symbol.
This is a builing located in the center of Lima. The lines of the gate of this picture create a sense of direction moving from right to left.
This is the department of health in Lima. Most buildings that have an important status are this color, since it shows seriousness.
