I'm not a devoted city photographer,
much preferring nature. Here's one city and two towns. It's all I have!
Valdivia
This is known as one of Chile's most
beautiful cities. It is crossed by a maze of waterways and surrounded by
green landscape, even if its famous rain forest is, for the most part,
gone.
Andean town
There are many such towns in the high
mountains. Only few of these houses are inhabited year-round. The climate
is harsh up here. They are either used for seasonal dwelling, or only for
a few days a year, during religious festivities.
Modernity
These ancient towns live a constant
struggle of modernity against tradition. Some have totally lost their Andean
character, while other towns strive to preserve it, even if making concessions
such as allowing light poles and wires.
If you expected to see skyscrapers and
glass facades, I will have to disappoint you. I can't find much aesthetic
in them.
