A piece of art

Hello Geobloggers

The topic of today is art, the true is that I'm not a big fan of art but I enjoy to see it. So I had to decide for a piece of art that I like and I chose "La persistencia de la memoria" by Salvador Dalí.

Dalí (1904-1989) was a famous spanish painter, is considered one of the greatest exponents of surrealism, he was also a sculptor, engraver and writer, among others. Maybe his most famous painting was "La persistencia de la memoria" made in 1931, currently this painting is in Nueva York on the MoMA Museum.

I don't remember when I saw this painting for the first time, I suposed it was in some art class at school, about ten years ago. In art classes we used to see famous paintings and sculptures and then try to make them ourselves. In this painting one observes an empty and arid landscape with some watches, which have the particularity of being melted.

Personally I like this painting because represents according to me the passage of time, how ephemeral is everything. Someones believe that Dalí based on Eintein´s theory of relativity to create this piece of art. Finally I think this painting is better tan others because it has a personal interpretation and the surrealism it presents is impressive.

Thanks for read!

A dream trip

Hi classmates :) This week, I want to tell you about a trip that I wold like to realize. It's difficult to me select a country because if it were for me I want to travel all over the world haha. But I choose Perú-Bolivia because it is a trip that I have wanted to do for some years. These countries have so much culture and history. natural landscapes and fun. There are so many interesting places and all relatively close to each other, so in three weeks you can visit it completely. Places like Arequipa (called "la ciudad blanca"), Cuzco (called "la Roma de América"), the Titicaca's lake and Machu Picchu in Perú. In the other hand Uyuni, Oruro, Villa Tunari, La Paz, Cochabamba, Isla del Sol and Copacabana in Bolivia. This trip I want to do with close friends or on my own because is a special journey for me and I want to have all the time to visit these wonderful places. Peru and Bolivia are very cheap countries to visit, so I think the total cost...

Puma concolor

Hello classmates: In this day, I want to do a post about one of my favourite animal the Puma concolor. In general I like felines except the domestic cats haha, all have characteristics that make them special, like lions, tigers, cheetahs, jaguars and leopards. The puma is a carnivorous mammal that lives in practically all of America and obviously in Chile. Belongs to the family Felidae, subfamily Felinae and genus Puma. It is currently classified in the UICN with the LC category, which is a minor concern. This animal is characterized by hunting for ambush, their diet is mainly based on deer although they also hunt camelids or other smaller species, is a solitary and territorial animal. One of the differences with the big cats is that it can’t emit roars, it´s sound is sharp more like domestic cats. His height can be 80 cm, his lenght of 2,75 mt and his weight of 75 kg. Also the puma can reach jumps of 5,4 mt in height and reach speeds of 72 km/h (amazing). I really like this...

A great place

Hi Geobloggers: Today, like the other weeks, I'd like to write about something new. I'm going to tell you about a photograph that I took this summer holidays on February, in Chaxa lagoon, inside of the huge Salar de Atacama, near to San Pedro de Atacama. This place is so quiet and magic and I feel that this photo fully represents it, the photo shows a flamingo's flock feeding on his natural environment and the reflection of the sky in the salt water of the lagoon. The possibility of staying and seeing so closely the flamingos represents so much to me and that day was really great, I met different landscapes in this trip even or more beautiful that the shows in the photo, but the presence of this birds (which are becoming less) is unpayable and not easily to forget. I recomend to visit San Pedro, this place has it all, you will not regret. I hope I have the opportunity to visit it a second time. Thanks for reading, see you the next time!
