Bike City Cerro City Santiago, Chile

 Hi folks, I thought I'd take a break from booming you all with images of construction workers and give you some iPhone images of the city that I live in and the Cerro(hills) that I bike in to stay in shape and relieve the stress.

This is a four pic that I captured of the Vitacura neighborhood and one of my favorite parks down below called Parque Bicentennial.

Top of the Cerro I found this cool amphitheater called Mirador Gabriela Mistral. Was blazing hot so I only stuck around a few minutes to snap a pic.

If you look closely in the left of the above image you can see this building.

A quail or as they say in Spanish a codorniz looking out for it's flock atop the Cerro where I take a break.

 This is a bridge that I cross and have become strangely fascinated with when I cross over the river and highways way down below.

Another bridge I must cross to get over the roads below.

The young 24 year old bicyclist Viviana Perez Rojas was killed on this corner by an automobile. You see this memorials all over the place now as there has been a large amount of bicyclist that have been killed during this pandemic as thousands of people have taken to their bikes to avoid the metro and buses where they might contract the virus COVID 19.

My first trip out of the apartment in almost seven months and here I am in Parque Los Dominicos.

Your's truly in my biker garb up on the new cement area in the Parque Los Domincos where it was like 102 degrees this day. Still a little snow up in the Cordillera Andes though.

That building there folks is the tallest building in South America. The Costanera Centre.

And this old pair of apartment buildings is in the Providencia barrio and I have a friend that lives way up on like the 18th floor of building in the foreground.

Came across this cool graffiti on my way back home a few blocks from our apartment. The kissing ladies are holding the guide book for the new Chilean constitution in their hands as they make out. Shows how they feel for equality for gay folks in the future.

Some of the masked protestors made into a graffiti piece in the struggle for the new constitution.

More Nueva Constitution graffiti on the walls of the city.

I think this is an Angel begging the police to quit beating the protestors(disciples)

I travel along and over the Rio Mopocho quite a few time on my route to and from the cerros.

We had a night of four inches of rain in the middle of a two year drought and so the river ran pretty high and fast over this bridge going from Providencia to Barrio Bellavista.

 

One of my favorite park workers taking his usual lunch break in his wheel barrow along the bike trail along the river.

Yet another bicyclist tragically killed by an automobile and tChristian Peterson's memorial in the park next to the road where he was murdered.

Chile is a land of hardships and poverty in many locales and this building reflects this with all the barb wire.

An old building that had some very nice angles and so I took it's photograph.

Just thought I'd slap in a photo of my old hunt in between Dixon

 Vacaville...or was it Davis and Winters. I do not care I always loved the countryside in California.

Calle Carmen Construction 5

Hello Folks, I am back with part 5 of my series of Calle Carmen Construction. This section shall be illustrating the wall templates flying in and getting set up and then the cement pour on the walls and roof of this 10 story building.

This fellow is the communication between the crane and the crews working on the building. He seems to carry a lot of weight as a supervisor for safety as well when the crane is moving at any time and everybody stops and listens when he give orders.

Up, up...

Up, up...

And up she goes....with the Cordillera of the Andes in the backdrop.

The cement workers guiding in a pot...

The crew finally noticed me taking pictures from the building across the street.

And then even before they are done pouring the cement the guys that lay it out start at it before it gets too dry.
