My name is Jacob. I am not the taker of this photo but I am in it. Unfortunately, everything I own that was a camera broke and I can't get a new one. I also didn't really take pictures before that. This photo was taken in San Andres, Ecuador. (Near Riobamba, cant choose the real city name here.) (I am IN it however (big guy on the left)) It's making me legally say this is mine, but you say to mark it in this section if it isnt. This is me doing that. You may not publish this image. It is not mine but a workmates. We can see in that the exterior of this building is primarily made of stone and mortar. It is a religious building and is clearly intended to accommodate a large number of people at once. There is sparse utilization of color, but that seems to be a thematic limitation rather than everything else, as the saint (Jesus?) at the top is sounded by a deep blue from many coatings of paint. Similar thematic neutral colors can be seen in the upper plaster towers. These seem slightly younger than the rest of the structure due to the change in materials, but one can't be sure as the whole of the structure looks equally well maintained. A similar level of maintenance looks to have been applied to the wooden structures, making aging them difficult, though the style and aesthetic applied are older ones. The people in the photo appear to be a group, in a good mood, and wearing coats despite clear weather. In terms of invisible information implied by this image, we can see that it is cold there due to the coats worn by the people in the photo. Also, due to the level of maintenance clearly applied to this church on a regular basis, an organization has and likely is siphoning a good deal of money into the structure. From this one can deduct that the religious organization here is handling a great deal of money. Furthermore it thus must also have a great deal of people interacting with it who view the church as important to be willing/able to donate this money, and it's high level of maintenance may also be a source of pride for the community. Thus while planing, this church must be accessible to the community, maybe even centralized within it. It may be a good idea to put recreational/ornamental social structures nearby to compliment the aesthetic and please church goers, to search for funding within the church, and to plan for it to be a social center and/or tourist attraction.
