I remember hearing stories of a past marked by fear and uncertainty, where armed conflict and urban violence were everyday occurrences. But today, Comuna 13 stands as a symbol of resilience and hope. The murals adorning its walls tell stories of peace and resistance, while hip-hop and breakdancing have become forms of expression for young people seeking to steer away from paths of violence.

During my visit, I spoke with several local artists who, with brush in hand, transform pain into art. One of them, a young muralist, shared with me how art gave his life new purpose. "Before, the only way out we saw was joining armed groups," he said. "Now, our canvas is the community, and our message is one of change."

Comuna 13 has also experienced an economic revival. Local businesses are thriving, from cafes to craft shops, all driven by the entrepreneurial spirit of its residents. Tourism has played a crucial role in this transformation, with visitors from around the world coming to witness its metamorphosis.

But perhaps the most impactful part of my visit was the sense of community. Despite the scars of the past, there is a palpable sense of unity and pride. Neighbors greet each other with smiles, and children play in plazas that were once war zones. Comuna 13 is a living testament that culture and community can triumph over adversity.

Medellín, a city that constantly reinvents itself, has surprised us once again with the transformation of the iconic Palacio Nacional Shopping Center. What was once the epicenter of commerce and fashion has now become a vibrant sanctuary of art and culture.

Medellín, una ciudad que se reinventa constantemente, nos ha sorprendido una vez más con la transformación del emblemático Centro Comercial Palacio Nacional. Lo que una vez fue el epicentro del comercio y la moda, ahora se ha convertido en un vibrante santuario de arte y cultura.

The metamorphosis began several years ago when the mall administrators decided to breathe new life into the space. The vision was clear: transform the top three floors into a space entirely dedicated to art, allowing creativity and expression to flow freely.

La metamorfosis comenzó hace algunos años, cuando los administradores del centro comercial decidieron dar un nuevo aire al lugar. La visión era clara: convertir los últimos tres pisos en un espacio dedicado enteramente al arte, permitiendo que la creatividad y la expresión fluyeran libremente.

The result is nothing short of impressive. As you ascend the escalators, you can feel the typical hustle and bustle of a shopping center fading away, giving way to the tranquility and inspiration that only art can offer. The galleries, with their white walls and carefully designed lighting, are the perfect canvas for local and international artists to exhibit their works.

El resultado es nada menos que impresionante. Al ascender por las escaleras mecánicas, uno puede sentir cómo el bullicio característico de un centro comercial se va desvaneciendo, dando paso a la tranquilidad y la inspiración que solo el arte puede ofrecer. Las galerías, con sus blancas paredes y su iluminación cuidadosamente diseñada, son el lienzo perfecto para que artistas locales e internacionales exhiban sus obras.

During my visit last Thursday, I was able to appreciate the diversity of styles and techniques coexisting in harmony. From painting and sculpture to interactive installations and digital art, each gallery offers a unique experience. It's a place where senses are heightened and minds open to new interpretations and emotions. As an extra gift alongside the photos, I'll be sharing a video that shows the journey through the different corridors of the palace.

Durante mi visita el pasado jueves, pude apreciar la diversidad de estilos y técnicas que conviven en armonía. Desde la pintura y la escultura hasta instalaciones interactivas y arte digital, cada galería ofrece una experiencia única. Es un lugar donde los sentidos se agudizan y la mente se abre a nuevas interpretaciones y emociones. Cómo regalo aparte de las fotos, les voy a compartir un video donde se muestra el recorrido por los diferentes pasillos del palacio.

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you an incredible experience I had last weekend. I went to a party on a rooftop in the heart of Medellín, more specifically in the El Poblado neighborhood, a place very popular with tourists visiting the city.

I captured the party in a drone video, which allowed us to see the city from a completely new perspective. From above, Medellín looked even more beautiful, with its bright lights and tall buildings blending with the starry night.

El Poblado, known for its vibrant nightlife and modern architecture, was the perfect setting for our party. The atmosphere was full of energy and joy, with music echoing throughout the neighborhood. People danced, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and fun.

You can't imagine how happy I am because I was able to capture some marvelous scenes. On this occasion, I was with my girlfriend and some of her friends in this paradise. On the day I dedicated to making the video, beautiful things happened, which you'll be able to appreciate in the video. One of them is that some fishermen arrived at the beach, and I could capture that moment with the drone. Another remarkable moment, and for me, the best drone shot I've taken so far, was when I followed a group of birds forming a triangle in the sea. It was something spectacular, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

The farm is located in Concepción, about three hours from Medellín. After showing him a couple of times how to operate the equipment, I decided it was time for him to take control. At first, he was very nervous about it, as we all are the first time we face the drone controller.

The goal of this first video was for Samuel to be able to navigate around the farm and showcase the entire terrain. Honestly, for a first attempt, it was perfect. I hope you leave your suggestions in the comments. Sending you a hug, and thanks for taking the time to read. Until next time.

Hola a todos espero se encuentren muy bien. Hoy estoy muy emocionado por presentarles el video del primer vuelo de drone que realizó mi hijo el pasado fin de semana en la finca de unos amigos. Desde hace unos meses mi hijo que tiene 14 años de edad me venía diciendo que le enseñara a volar el dron, en casa tenemos un Dji Mavic Mini 2 y el fin de semana pasado se presentó la oportunidad perfecta para que mi hijo aprendiera.

La finca queda en Concepción a unas tres horas de Medellín, luego de mostrarle un par de veces cómo era el manejo del equipo, decidí que era la hora de que él tomara el control de la nave. Al principio él estaba muy nervioso de que se cayera como a todos nos pasa la primera vez que estamos frente al control del dron.

La intención de este primer video era que Samuel fuera capaz de bordear la finca y mostrar todo el terreno que este tiene, y la verdad para ser la primera vez estuvo perfecto. espero que me dejes tus sugerencias en los comentarios. Te mando un abrazo y gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leerme. Hasta la próxima.
