Santiago during autumn
This picture was taken during a gray and foggy autumn day. I don't know about you, but I love these days. They are just perfect for a sunday afternoon. In the distance, you can see the Andes, which is the world's longest mountain range, measuring more than 7.000 Km. Chile has a unique characteristic, due to its long and thin geography: You can go skiing in the morning in one of the Andes many ski centers and be at the beach in the afternoon, enjoying dusk by the Pacific Ocean.

Our ski season is going great. There is plenty of snow. I hope it'll last a couple more months...
I can see a strong feeling between the tops of those buildings and fogs. They seem to be so friends. I've heard that Las Condes is a zone of rich people. Is that right?
Greetings from Perú
Nice photo! I like those clouds and the color of the mountains.
Irredento: Actually, Las Condes is one of Santiago's biggest communes. There are people from all economic classes living in Las Condes.
Marie: I loved your "Doorways around the world" blog. I hope I can send you a picture someday.
great shot of a city view, the big mountain as a backdrop has some similarities with Vancouver ;-)
Eduardo: Chile is without a doubt the most advanced country in LA and for sure a land of many wonders. It is on my to-do list for life to visit your country. Now make sure you bring the good and bad to this blog.
Dramatic!
Welcome to the DP Circus !
So nice mood rendered here ! Autumn colours are wonderful.
For your knowledge : the French Riviera has also that "unique" feature beach/ski. We share that luck :-)
Those 3 peaks on your profile are very impressive...
La photo dans mon profil a été prise dans un parc au sud du Chili, appelé Torres del Paine (Tours du Paine). C'est vraiment impressionnant.
Et je crois que je devrai visiter de nouveau la cote d'azur pour vérifier les centres de ski...
Beautiful picture of Santiago! Nice to see it without the smog. Had it just rained?
