The *Plaza Bolívar* (Bolívar Square) in the city of Barquisimeto, is located in the historic district where the *Plaza Concepción* was previously located in 1842. Later, in 1894, beautiful bars from the city of New York would be placed and several plots of other houses were acquired to expand Square. On June 4, 1896, it would be reopened giving it the name of *Plaza Miranda*, remaining so until 1925, when it is granted the name of *Plaza Bolívar*, however, it would not really be until 1930 when the General **Eustoquio Gomez**, at that time governor of the Lara state, would decree and build the current pedestal for the placement of the equestrian statue of the *Founding Father*, which was brought from Europe on the occasion of commemorating the centenary of the death of "The Liberator" **Simon Bolivar**.

The image taken a few years ago, within the framework of a call made by *Social Networks*, for local amateur photographers in order to take a walking tour of the historic center of the city; it was later modified with the tools provided by the **PicsArt** image editor. This time I used a filter of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) type in order to expand the tones of the original image, and later I adjusted the brightness, contrast, saturation and lighting volumes.</div>

La *Plaza Bolívar* de la ciudad de Barquisimeto, se ubica en el casco central donde anteriormente estuvo ubicada la *Plaza Concepción* en 1842. Posteriormente, en el año 1894 se colocarían unas bellas rejas provenientes de Nueva York y se adquirían varios solares de otras casas para ampliar la plaza. El 4 de junio de 1896, sería reinaugurada dándosele el nombre de *Plaza Miranda*, permaneciendo así hasta 1925, cuando se le otorga el nombre de *Plaza Bolívar*, sin embargo, no sería realmente sino hasta 1930 cuando el General **Eustoquio Gómez**, en aquel entonces gobernador del estado Lara, decretaría y construiría el actual pedestal para la colocación de la estatua ecuestre del *Padre de la Patria*, que fuese traída de Europa en ocasión de conmemorarse el centenario de la muerte de "El Libertador" **Simón Bolívar**.

La imagen tomada unos años atrás, en el marco de una convocatoria realizada por las *Redes Sociales*, para fotógrafos aficionados locales con la finalidad de realizar un recorrido a pié por el casco histórico de la ciudad; fue modificada posteriormente con las herramientas que proporciona el editor de imágenes **PicsArt**. En esta oportunidad utilicé un filtro del tipo HDR (High Dynamic Range) con la finalidad de ampliar los tonos de la imagen original, y posteriormente ajusté los volúmenes de brillo, contraste, saturación e iluminación.</div>
