We all pile back into the car, make a pit stop by Pablo Neruda’s cliff-top, ocean-view house, and continue onwards to Valparaiso. This colorful port city, which is oftentimes called Valpo brings out the photographer in two of us as we pass through its winding, hilly streets. We get to skip climbing up one hill by braving the Ascensor Concepcion, a short century-old funicular in an historic part of the city. We then weave our ways through countless cute shops and mini cafes stopping all the while to capture each scene via CMOS sensor. As the day is a bit overcast, our cameras are not overwhelmed with brightness, with shadows, or with intensity of any sort; however, the flatness of light gives some of the otherwise hidden parts of these colorful streets a little more attention than they would otherwise have received. We end our visit in Valpo at a cafe complete with live music from a local Chilean.
