Taking photographs of the historical lighthouse in Colonia del Sacramento would make one of the most memorable vacation pictures a person can take. The lighthouse is absolutely breathtaking with its tall white pillar skyscraper look. It looks tall enough to reach the stars. Climbing to the top of the lighthouse and taking pictures of the surrounding areas of Colonia are also breathtaking photographs for a tourist. The lighthouse also has an old wall made out of dark stone rocks that make the lighthouse look even more majestic. A photograph could be taken from any angle and a person would never miss the nuance of the area. The Rio de la Plata river would make wonderful photographs with all of the boats coming in and out of the port. The waters are beautiful and clear. The beach areas would also make great pictures with all of the sand and the waters.
Taking a picture of the Puerta de la Ciudadela drawbridge at night can make a person feel as if they just went through a time warp. The drawbridge looks like a barricade that was used to keep King Kong out of the city. The drawbridge also has luminous yellow lights that create a lot of shadows that can be spooky to many. The buildings can look quite old during the daytime when it shows sign of age, but at night they are brilliant and spectacular looking. The cobble stone streets are also great pictures for tourists who have never seen a cobble stone street before in their neck of the woods. Many of the older homes have archways that lead into their yards. These archways are also great photographs on a trip.
The trees in Colonia look just as old as the historical part of the town. When a traveler catches the look of the older trees along with the older buildings it would be a great photograph to take. These kind of pictures would create an essence of the era that can still be seen from over 400 years ago. It can be surprising to see what type of photographs most interest travelers. When most people thing that tourists would taking pictures of beautiful stately homes or amusement parks, most photographs taken in Colonia are of the older historical landmarks and ruins. There is a certain nostalgic to older buildings that have been around for centuries. Photographs can bring these to light more than a persons own description.
The beach at Real de San Carlos give breathtaking pictures during a sun set. The light that emits from the sun as it is going down over the water gives off a pinkish tint on the water and an orange tint in the sky. The town of Colonia also has a lot of older cars from the 1930s that many tourists would find of interest for a photograph. Many of the older cars are sitting in front of the older buildings along the cobble stoned streets. It makes the area look as if it never belonged in the twentieth century. Some of the colonial edifices can be taken along with the residents of Colonia who wear colonial costumes for the tourists.
