• We see a close-up stack of colorful, loosely woven hammocks for sale at a market in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador. You cannot, however, actually see that these are hammocks. We only see brightly colored cotton 4-inch stripes of light blue, yellow, hot pink, navy blue, mauve, red, orange, bright blue, and coral. The woven threads swirl and bend into multicolored patterns, waiting for hammock buyers to pass by.

  • This landscape portrait of a chef in San Salvador, El Salvador, shows him in a double-breasted, white chef’s uniform. He is a young, handsome El Salvadoran man in his late twenties. He faces the camera directly. In the bottom of the frame, we see his torso just above his elbows. His right shoulder is positioned just below center in the image. He leans to his left, such that his face is in the right 1/3 of the frame. He wears a 2-foot-high white chef’s hat that leans upward and to the right at a 25-degree angle. Dark green tropical foliage blurs in the background on the left side and right edge of the photo, making his white uniform and conspicuously tall hat pop in the foreground.

    San Salvador Chef

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    I don't remember the name of the restaurant in San Salvador (El Salvador) where I met this chef, but I had to take a shot of him and his chef's hat.  As you can see, his chef's hat takes half the vertical space of the frame.  Found this wonderful background of foliage in the back parking lot.  Image taken while cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

  • A close-up landscape layout photo of handmade maracas clustered together in a public market in San Salvador, El Salvador. The maracas are made from small round gourds, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Each set of maracas has been carved with matching patterns (zigzags, pinwheels, nested arcs, clouds, and cactus leaves) and painted red with accent colors of dark lime green, dark teal, dark blue, and deep purple. Red wooden handles have been attached to each gourd. We can only see the maraca heads in the photo except for two maracas paired together vertically in the left third of the image—the maraca heads at the top of the image, and the handles at the bottom. This pair rests on other maraca heads underneath. Both red maracas have been carved with the words “El Salvador,” which have been painted in a dark blue around a carved-out background painted white.

    The Holy Savior’s Maracas

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    Maracas in a San Salvador market, El Salvador.  'El Salvador' means 'the savior.'  So I thought it appropriate to title this as 'The Holy Savior's Maracas.'  Image taken while cruising Central America in our sailboat 2000-2001.

  • A landscape photo shows a horizon of black silhouetted trees rising up from the horizon, about ¼ mile away. The photo is taken from a dark gray river, its waters seen at the bottom one fifth of the photo. On the left 1/3 of the image, just above the horizon, we see the San Miguel Volcano pushing into the sky, the top half of which is lit by the setting sun. Golden clouds cluster around the volcano’s peak. Behind the volcano we see a peach-colored sky, with gray clouds above, and light blue sky behind the gray clouds at the very top of the photo. The dark gray water of the river reflects peach and blue skylights.

    Volcan Chaparrastique

    $822.00 – $2,832.00
    San Miguel volcano (also known as Volcan Chapparastique) is an active volcano about nine miles southwest of San Miguel, El Salvador.  Here, the setting sun begins to fade on the volcano's western face.  This image taken from the deck of Andante, our 42-foot sailboat, from the Lempa River while cruising Central America 2000-2001.
