Hello Sylwia,
It is nice to see this beautiful photo from Nicaragua. I like the architecture of this cathedral, and your presentation is very nice, with a lovely blue sky and the blue water of the fountain.

Hello Sylwia. I remember some of this place. I lived not far from Managua but I not before the massive earthquake. Your picture is nice. I like the colors and the frontal perspective of the ruined building. The blue sky and the clouds create an excellent backdrop for this historic building. Good work!
