late update.

Sorry to miss my mark past Sunday, but I was tired to death and the week has been pretty hectic, so only today I've got the time to update.

A few weeks ago we took a city tour, and since we've been here for a while there where very few things new to us, but since I had an upper view I took some pictures you normaly can take (sorry for the reflex, dam windows.

Today I want to share this pictures of the Chilean flag. Enjoy.

See you next week.

Cat II

So, I really like my cat (it's a shame that she doesn't seems to like me as much), but here goes some pics taken today in one of those rare occasions  that she lets me take her pictures. I hope you like them and bear with me for the second week on a row with my cat, I assure you there will be something different next week.

Have a good week!

Cat

This week I want to share two pictures of my cat.

This one if not as good as I wold liked, but the chances to take it are very, very scarce.

Have a nice week!

Revisited

So, wasn't happy with last weeks picture so I waited for a good light and took it again.

I hope you like it.

rainy day

So yesterday we had a very sunny and beautiful day and we went cycling all morning to a very nice place called Santuario de la Naturaleza, but today the day couldn't be more different, it was clouded all day long and it rain and rain and then it rain a little more.

Anyway, what I really wanted to share was this picture of the trees near by and their colors... Not sure what to expect when autumn comes...

See you next week!

Spring???

So this week we had a very cold Thursday and trough the night it rained and what we found the next morning was this:

And even snow where I never saw in the winter (Cerro 18)

 In the yard behind the office

 The rooftops of the neighbors

But on the afternoon the sun had melted most of the snow near the office

And the light was great by the time I got home.

See you next week!

Sunrise and self portrait.

A few days ago I got early enough to take some pictures of the sun rising,

And the light was just right for a self portrait.

See you next week.

Tripod!

so this week I was reunited with my tripod, that makes me very happy, and I want to share some of the photos I've been taking lately.

Going crazy (or just left the camera shooting while going for sushi)

 or forgetting to check the camera for some extra 10 minutes.

or getting just what I wanted!

Now I can get back to the fountains project I have in mind since I get to Santiago.

La Serena

The final set of photos from my trip to north of the contry. Enjoy!

Some windmils we saw in the way there, it's a big wind farm by the sea.

The seagulls are huge here, but I like the light hitting in the feathers of the back of the wing.

A huge concrete cross you can climb, but sincerely we didn't want to climb any stairs. 

 A view of the bay in la Serena and Coquimbo

and of Coquimbo

 one more of the bay.

See you next week.

Mamalluca

The weekend of the 18 we also went to an amateur observatory called Mamalluca, there you can actually look through the telescopes, unfortunately there was a full moon and that limited the quantity and quality of the object we could see, but enable me to take this pictures! (sorry, no tripod, so I had to put the camera on the ground...)

Have a nice week!

Late post

Sorry abut the lack of new post yesterday. Tonight it will be up.

La Silla Part II.

Some more pics of the observatory (I hope you like it.)

I love me some back lighted photo, and that perfect blue sky.

Another pic of the NTT

And the inside of the 3.6M telescope... impresive specially when it's moving.

A radio telescope and the moon.

See ya!.

La Silla

This weekend, as I told you, we made a road trip and one of the main places that we visited was the ESO  La Silla observatory, This is a very beautiful place in a very arid terrain (but not as much as Paranal) and the tour is really good. If you have the chance to go, don't miss it!

Here some of the pictures of the way there:
Some flowers in the road there (there most have been some rain lately, I guess)

The colors of the mountains here are something special.

The observatory in the distance

One of the domes with a 3.6 m telescope

The NTT dome.

and the moon.

That's it for this week.

Next week I'll post the rest of the pictures next week.
