Cover photo description:
El Jardin, often simply referred to as Jardin English: Garden, is a town and municipality in the southwest region of Antioquia, located between the San Juan river, which is called Docato meaning `River stones` by the natives, and a branch of the Western Cordillera. Unlike some other towns of Antioquia, Jardin has remained largely unchanged for the last 140 years. The colonial architecture predominant throughout the area is characterized by whitewashed buildings with brightly painted doors, balconies, and cowhide chairs. Several of the chairs are hand-painted with scenes and landscapes from the local culture. Colombia, South America
