Description
During my stay on the island of Ometepe in Lake Nicaragua, I wanted to wander the streets of one of the villages there and get a little more of a feel for life on a little tropical island in Central America.
What I found was that it reminded me of home, another small town, in many ways. Aside from the ads on the side of this shop, I bet little has changed here over the years. I bet many from the village of Altagracia would still recognize their little town even if they've been away. It has that timeless simple feel to it.
I was already framing the shot this picture was based on hen the blue Robur truck entered the scene. I'd seen several of its brethren aboard the ferry the day before. I would see more still loaded down with plantains, their main export, when I left the island later. I was actually quite glad when that little truck showed up to finish this scene. A definite feel for everyday life in a little Nicaraguan village.
