For some reason, the other day I thought I’d search Flickr for photos of Colindres. I, of course, am the dominant supplier of Colindres photos to the internet. But in amongst my photos of flowers and bollards, I found some nice ones from long ago, showing just how much Colindres has changed in recent years.
Of course these won’t interest any of you nearly as much as they interest me, but I’m posting them anyway.
Colindres Town Hall, 1948
Colindres, 1958. Notice the complete absence of all of Laredo’s sprawl to the right.

Colindres, 1962. You can clearly see the town church. If you look across the street from the church and up a little bit, you can see the crumbling mansion with the widow’s walk.
Colindres Town Hall Square, 1962.
A main Colindres intersection, 1967.
Colindres from a hillside, 1967.
It’s pretty amazing how much Colindres has grown in just 45 years.

Random Photos to End 2007

| As my last post of 2007, I thought I’d purge some to-be-blogged photos from recent walks around town. Without a doubt, it’s been a strange year. I never thought people I’ve never met would come and visit my blog regularly and actually send me presents and things. When I was fifteen, a friend and I [...] |
