Puerto Rican Texture

Even though it has not been very cold this winter, my mind is always someplace warm. In this case Puerto Rico, a place I last visited in 2010. The textures in and around Castillo de San Cristóbal, the old Spanish fort (completed in 1783) that is part of San Juan, have never left my mind.

Take a look:
