Sundown in Caracas

Washington, DC--I didn't take many pictures while in Caracas but I wanted to give you an idea of what the city looks like from above. I took this picture from the rooftop bar of a hotel called Pestana, located in east Caracas. The view from here is to the west of the city. It was my last night in Venezuela before returning home.

Being able to see clothes upon a roof hanging to dry, makes it somehow "warm and friendly" a view, of a certainly big city.

There are some very beautiful sections of Chacao, which is the northeast municipality of greater Caracas.

Wonderful shot! I was hoping to get glimpse of Caracas.

I have never seen Caracas, even in pictures, so this is a spectacular first. The hanging laundry is a nice human touch...

It is my first time ever to see Caracas. I agree with Robert, hanging clothes on the roof makes the city look warm.

Definitivamente espectacular toma de tan impresionante ciudad, el toque de la ropa puesta a secar en un edificio de ese tamaño, le agrega algo muy especial al momento y dispara la imaginación, ya que es la única azotea con tendederos. Saludos.

Que vista de pelicula americana, solo nos falta la llegada del Buick.
La hiciste desde arriba del edificio imagino.
Ciao!

Luis Gomez Photos

I am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
