Above you see a detail from one of the upper floors of the BBVA building on Paseo Huerfanos, in Santiago Centro. BBVA is a huge commercial and retail bank in Chile with strong connections to the Spanish bank of the same name. I'd have sworn that such an image would have been found on a church, but no. The abbreviation BBVA stands for Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria.
A broad mural locatred on the street in front of La Chascona, which was the poet Pablo Neruda's home in the Barrio Bellavista in Santiago.
Here is a statue of the Chilean naval hero/martyr from the War of the Pacific (1879-1883), Arturo Prat, located in the plaza at Pichilemu, on the Pacific coast southwest of Santiago.
A rather impressionistic view of the rarely-used road which leads from the old railway station (now closed) to the beach in Pichilemu, Chile.
An armadillo, photographed near the village of Tres Lagos, in Santa Cruz Province, Argentine Patagonia.
These were all images which caught my eye during my recently completed epic 3½ month journey through Chile and Argentina. Check back occasionaly to see more.
