Sunsets

We live on a hillside in Region IV of Chile overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The town of La Serena, or the newer area of town with the big box stores and the mall, is between us and the ocean, but I hardly notice when I look out the window. I see the boats and the birds, but I especially notice the light in the morning when the sun breaks the Andes behind us ... and the sunsets. What sunsets they are. The spectrum of light that dances through the layers of clouds is breathtaking. I find myself mesmerized by it each evening. On the evenings when it is spectacular, I run for the camera. Here are a few shots from this month (click photo to view album).

Valparaiso

I was amazed by the street art in Valparaiso, Chile. This seaside city on a series of hills was full of surprisingly detailed graffiti. It seemed as though every blank wall was covered with something colorful. Click on the photo to see the entire album.

Valparaiso - Street Art

We only spent two nights in Valparaiso. I would like to go back and explore more of it's streets to see what other surprises might be found.
