Some Thoughts

Walking around these past few weeks, and taking a look at surrounds Valparaiso offers many things have come to mind. I head home in a few weeks after nearly one year and half out of the country. The streets, sounds and sights, present a bounty of elements - many of which we simply do not have in Canada. The labrynth of streets, pathways and passages that always seem to trickle upon a new piece or art/graffiti baffles me still to this day. I must say that the way this culture has chosen to present itself is unique and the art certainly brings out and seems to evokes all the senses. The warmth from all the surrounding colours is subliminally comfortable - and I sure am going to miss it. The aesthetics, paintings, graffiti, scultures and music bring this city to life. While it isn't the richest of cities in Chile - it certainly is rich with culture... and it is obvious by the vibe the city feeds out.
