ENGLISH
I'm not an expert in architecture, nor do I aim to be, but I do enjoy admiring the beauty of the structures that history holds.
The photos I’m sharing show old small buildings that in Venezuela are called "bloques" or "bloquecitos" because they are three stories high and resemble a brick block.
A few days ago, I visited a well-known community in Valencia called La Isabelica.
One of the attractions, at least from a photographic perspective (for me), is the walkways and the blocks, which create points of convergence in harmony with the very homey and intimate surroundings.
I want to go back to take more photos, as my stay was short due to the rain, and I had to take shelter since I was riding my bike.
In my opinion, Venezuelan architecture seems to have stalled in time, and as the years go by, it ages even more and gains a more decadent beauty.

No soy experto en arquitectura ni lo pretendo, pero sí que me gusta admirar la belleza de las estructuras que aguarda la historia.
Las fotos que presento muestran viejos pequeños edificios que en Venezuela se les llama “bloques” o “bloquecitos” porque son de tres pisos y parecen un bloque (ladrillo).
Hace unos días visité una comunidad conocida de Valencia, que se llama La Isabelica.
Uno de los atractivos, al menos desde el punto de vista fotográfico (para mí), son las veredas y los bloques, que forman unos puntos de fuga en consonancia con el entorno, muy casero, íntimo.
Quiero volver para hacer más fotos, dado que mi estancia fue corta porque llovió y tuve que resguardarme porque andaba en bicicleta.
En mi opinión la arquitectura venezolana se quedó detenida en el tiempo, y con el paso de los años envejecen cada vez, y va tomando más belleza decadente.
I rather enjoy architecture but my eye for it isn't great. The first and third shots in this series really caught my eye though, nice work!

My mom lived for a while in La Isabelica when those apartments were new and almost everybody wanted to live in those places and now people have looked for other places like in San Diego or Naguanagua, but you can see how time has stopped in those places.
