A View of Vina del Mar From Con Con, Chile

Hello Folks,
this past weekend my wife and I took a drive to Con Con a small seaside town with a great view of Vina del Mar. We played dominos, cards and ate some nice meals while pretty much laying about the nice apartment that over looks the Pacific Ocean in Chile. Vina del Mar is getting bigger all the time and instead of developing further inland they are going up, up and up with new skyscrapers. None of these tall buildings were in Vina the last time I was in Chile in 2007. The small town of Con Con recently had some of their shore front restaurants destroyed when a tsunami hit them a couple of months ago when we had all those earthquakes further up north in Coquimbo near La Serena.
My photography was rather limited this weekend as I only got out to go for a short walk and then again to toss some frisbee on the beach.

 I would hate to be on this lighted pathway when the next earthquake hits.

 Like everybody else Chileans are hooked on selfies.

La Boda de Estefi y Eduardo 10 De Octobre 2015

Hi Folks,
These are some images that I captured while I was also videotaping my wife's cousin Estefi. I was mainly busy trying to make a nice story of her marriage to Eduardo and managed to also take some still picture.
This was shot in in Santiago Chile and a small town outside the city.

The ladies first got their hair done and makeup put on in  a boutique. 











Then we went back to Estefi's home where she got into her wedding gown.




 Meanwhile back at the church Eduardo waiting for his new bride.

  My wife Lidice was made up pretty for the event.
