Photographer's Note
Another facade of the colonial architecture of San Juan de Puerto Rico, here it is a blue version.
The city is everywhere decorated with the flag and the colors of this island associated with the USA.
But this flag ultimately brings to mind the most famous of Cuba's sister island! A triangle and an alternation of bands ... however the colors are reversed compared to the appearance of the Cuban flag.
On the Puerto Rican flag, the triangle is blue and the red and white bands, on the other hand for Cuba, the triangle is red and the blues and white bands!

Bonjour, cher Jean,
Mes voyages sont très limités, aussi, j'apprécie de découvrir des lieux où les communautés tiennent à marquer leur passage à travers l'architecture.
Note très intéressante.
Amitiés.

Hello Jean,
The building almost represents the flag, itself!
In Western Europe, we would be unlikely to see a building painted with such bright colours, to such an extent.
It is vibrant and seems very patriotic.
Your close crop helps to create this flag shape.
Keep safe,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Jean,
Le drapeau attire le regard. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails de la façade de l'immeuble et du drapeau. La lumière rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne journée.

A very nice photo of the colorful fasade, the flags are really similar, but it is not surprising

Hi Jean,
Beautiful facade. And your close and wide angle shows it so well. Light on the bottom row figures looks good. Interesting fact about the flags. I had no idea about the similarity of Cuban and Puerto Rican flag.

Another wonderful façade with a nice mix of blue and white colours and some very nice decorations in the bottom and top of the photo with the large flag well placed in the middle. Well captured and composed.

Bonjour Jean-Saint.
A profound observation here, the flag resemblance is exactly as you had described it, pity in reality the two political systems are not in such mood.
As far as my Spanish understanding goes, this building is related in some way to the "men or boys" gender, maybe it's a smoking cigar club...? Haha.
Take good care, tfs.

Hi Jean
Great looking up, from a frog's viewpoint, close craning backwards and upwards to make the shot. Its the converging verticals create such an impact, blended by some bright colours
detail and contrast. Impressive architectural shot.
Best regards

curious as many flags in the world were inspired in the american one, some brazilian states have the same patterns but in green and yellow. nice view of this beautiful façade with the flag in evidence.
