. part of the photo essay: ¨Isla Fuerte: fried fish & hypnotic blue sky¨ .
Isla Fuerte, broken smiles and some rusty dreams in people´s faces.
Isla Fuerte, donkeys in slow motion, children chasing small pigs, humble neighborhoods with no basic public services and very few employment opportunities. Isla Fuerte, surrounded by a blue-greenish sea, so quiet and wise.
Islafuerte, the noisy one during rooster fights, between cold beers and the sound of reggaeton and vallenato. Lunch anyone? Menu prices start at 2 dollars for coconut rice & fried fish. Islafuerte, a paradise with hammocks, palm trees and a blue hypnotic sky.
How to get there? Take a 30-minute ride in a speedboat departing from Paso Nuevo, which is an hour away from the city of Lorica, in the State of Córdoba, in Colombia (but don´t be afraid, it´s safe in here).

Wow, that's a nice essay! I love the pictures, definitely wants to see it published in Everywhere! What kind of camera do you use to do this effect? It's gorgeous and colours are stunning!
