Postcard Winners: Parque el Virrey
Photo by Carlos Agudo
This photo was taken with a Sony DSC-S60.
‘Parque el Virrey’ is one of the most beautiful places in the city, it is very quiet but there is also a lot going on. People go there to exercise, bike, run or do some yoga.
This park is one of Carlos’ favorite places. It has a lot of green in it and you can breathe in peace. However, when you just turn your head around what you will see is people rushing everywhere. When you are in the park, it feels that time stops, allowing you to realize what surrounds you, and your inner self.
This photo belongs to a series that Carlos took waking up very early on Sundays, the idea was not to have people in the photos, emulating Eugene Atget’s work. In this type of photo, architecture stands allowing the viewer to feel proximity with the space.
Fun facts about Parque el Virrey:
During July, ‘Alimentarte’ takes place in this park. ‘Alimentarte’ is a gastronomy festival. It brings together the best of local and international food.
In December, Parque el Virrey is visited by locals and tourists because of its lights and Christmas decoration

First of all, get ready to have a great adventure, to meet people, to experience flavors, to feel scared, to feel free, to get lost…To experience all these things is to be in Bogota.

Postcard Photo Winners: Cyclist
Photo by Juan Diego Velasco
This is next to a (not-so-pretty ) caño that goes parallel to ‘Calle 80’. What you see in the picture is a ‘cicloruta’ (bike path) that goes around the stream.
This photo was taken in Juan’s previous work. He got there at 6:00 am, the office’s alarm went off and he could not get in so he had to wait outside for someone else to arrive. Time went by and he got bored. He got off his car with his camera and he started to shoot taking advantage of the light at that moment. When he was trying different angles in his camera he saw that the sun created a beautiful flare. He kept shooting from that same place where he could capture the flare until this cyclist appeared.
Perfect moment perfect place and here you have it!
Juan considers the picture to be a good documentary piece that describes a place in the city. It shows the hills in the back, characteristic of Bogota; a couple of trees and it could even say something about people’s lives. It just explains how the city looks from a specific place at a specific moment
