Mikal with a k on Nostr: Bogotá, Colombia is known for its street art, particularly the Candelaria district ...

Bogotá, Colombia is known for its street art, particularly the Candelaria district where I'm now staying. But there is a whole hidden dimension to it that you only see if you go out at night. Most shops have steel rollup security doors that are, of course, open during the day.

But once the shops close, the doors go down to reveal a city-sized gallery of amazing art painted on them. It's like a secret hidden art museum. Some of the work is absolutely stunning. It may have to wait a couple weeks till I get home, but I will make a gallery on my website. For now here are a few examples.

I brought my 24 mm tilt-shift lens specifically to take pictures of things like this, but I don't really feel comfortable walking around with a fancy camera alone at night, so these are just phone snaps.
