What guided this image
Landmarks
Church of San Antonio; Farallones de Cali; Cristo Rey; Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Peter the Apostle; Ermita Church; Bulevar del Río; San Antonio; lush tropical flora
Viewpoint
Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from San Antonio Hill looking across the historic quarter toward the city center and the towering Farallones, showing whitewashed church walls and cobblestone steps in the foreground, terracotta roofs, tree-lined boulevards, and La Ermita in the middle-ground, and the dramatic green peaks of the Farallones rising into the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the lush cloud-forest canopy of the Farallones de Cali, San Antonio parklands, and riverbank samán trees.
