Located in Quintero, Chile, Region V (1 of 15 different regions), we find this gem that I visited with my Chilean family in 2005. This is another trip from the Study Abroad program I did in the Summer of that year, and am I ever glad that I took pictures AND video. It is still as stunning today as it was 6 years ago! One conundrum I always faced when snapping a lot of photos was: "If I take this many photos, am I really enjoying the landscape? If I take fewer photos will my memory preserve the true scenes better than the actual photos?"
I don't think that the answer is ever simple to something like that, however, I do know that you are not able to see posts of what's inside my head. Without further a dieu:

I would love to go there for a vacation! It looks nice! :)
ReplyDeletesave for the occasional container ship, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's beautiful there. You got that perfect sunset hour too.
ReplyDeleteYou should, Shutterbug! I know you won't regret it and they have lots of seafood for Asians!
ReplyDeleteJay, you're right about the ships, I guess I didn't realize how much of an eyesore they were since I got caught up in the moment. The sunsets are my favorites though, by far. There are a couple with complimentary birds!
D4, it was accidental on my part, as I was just following the group but it really worked out well. Sometimes I wonder if I destroy the moment by taking so many pictures. I guess I'd have to ask Jay about that, he's the REAL photographer, I wonder if he feels the same way?
