21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Love at first sight

Can someone fall in love at first sight with a city, like with a person? For sure yes. The City of Antigua Guatemala is a clear example of that. In the photograph, you can see the entrance to said city, so this is the first view that anyone who visits has before their eyes. In the foreground, you can see the beautiful colonial architecture, the color and the cobblestone streets of the World Heritage City. In the background, from left to right, the imposing Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes, the first of these with a small fumarole given its eruptive activity.
