This is what can be called "an example of city government negligence".

http://usera.imagecave.com/herreraf/Bogota_Downtown/IMG_0292copy.jpg

It's known as the "kiosk of light". It's a piece of architectonic art (neoclassic style) created by an italian architect (Pietro Cantini). It's located in the "Park of Independence", downtown Bogota. It used to be a meeting place for family members, friends, lovers, visiting the park.

Today, it's abandonned. What a shame!

Interesting shot and the story behind it makes it even better. Never heard of architectonic art before, had to go look it up.

Great shot that, Fer, shows age and weather.

Glazed with rain water......W.C.W

Nice, the sepia and slightly grainy look transports one back into time.
