An oasis in the chilean north

One of my favorite photos is this. It was taken by me in the autumn, the last year.  It shows a beautiful place called Alto del Carmen.  Alto del Carmen is a town located in the third region of Atacama, in the Chilean north. How you can see, geographically is a valley surrounded by mountains.  Although is in the north, characterized by being dry, here you can find a lot of kinds of native vegetation, besides a significant portion of the population work as farmer. This place is like an oasis in the desert, but not for a long time, because water scarcity threatens with finish with the vegetation and the life there. Yes, that is very sad.

I like this photo for two reasons. First, because I live there with my family since fifteen years ago, so I like that others know my home. And the second reason is because it shows a general view of the place, the mountains, the vegetation, the houses, the trees and the clouds. I think is a very beautiful place.

I hope you can visit it any day.
