Teeth of Navarino Trekking

Today, I'm going to write about a a wonderful photograph. I like this photo because of the scenery, the mountains, the sky and clouds and the magnificent colors: blue and white and the contrast in them. I love the photos that transmit emotions or feelings through an image.

In the next photo you can see a landscape of  Navarino Island, near Cape Horn. Specifically, the sixteen or fourteen (I don't remember) landmark of "Teeth of Navarino Trekking". The photo was not taken by a photographer (obviously), but it was taken the last summer, on 7th January, by a Polish friend with our camera. This photo was a "mistake" because the original photo should have showed my trekking group (my father, my brother and me). You can see a frozen lake, mountains, hills and supposedly behind the far mountains is Cape Horn, traditionally "the last point of the American continent". 

The only thing I don't like of this photo is the date in orange on the right corner of the picture. But it is compensated for the wonderful scenery, the emotions and the memories that this photo shows. I remember the last summer, the experience, the long walk, the tiredness and I wish I could be there now.

Well, this is the photo.

Kindle Touch

My favorite piece of technology is Kindle touch. “The Kindle is an e-book produced by Amazon devices enable users to shop for, download, browse, and read e-books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, and other digital media via wireless networking” (Wikipedia, 2013).

My Kindle was a gift of my parents (or my dad, I don’t remember.) for my birthday one year ago. I use the Kindle, almost every day as much as for my texts for the university or literature. I can read many of my favorites authors using up little space.  

I like the kindle because various reasons: First, The kindle saves the paper, so save the nature, considering that the paper is product of the forest. Secondly the kindle allows read many books in the same space without the distractions neither high prices the other piece of technology with identical function (read texts) as a tablets, notebooks and smartphones. Finally I like that the kindle is portable wherever I go; on buses, subways, trains, airplanes, etc.

My life without the kindle, would be similar to the one with the device.  Instead of reading from it, I would read from real books, therefor, this type of technology adds up to a certain lifestyle, but it is not indispensable. 

Inequality City

Well, I born in Santiago and I always live in this city, so today I'm going to write about this place and a procces .

In first term, Santiago is the totally reflection of a society inequality and we can to watch this in the spatial configuration identically that others cities of America Latina like Lima, Buenos Aires, Mexico D.F, Rio de Janeiro, etc. 

In the city of Santiago, the inequality shows in the difference between districts (comunas) or specific areas (for example "north-east of Santiago" or "south area") in relation to green areas, access, population density, quality of life, levels of salary, etc defined as a "spatial segregation". And his difference generally produced a difference between the people of this places, avoid the contact between them. I think that this procces is a tendency in the all cities and the countries, but I think the goverments must to reduce this problem by means laws, regulation maps, etc.

A definition of segregation is "grade of spatial proximity or territorial agglomeration of the families belonging a same social group defined in etnic, age group, religious preference, or socioeconomic terms" (Sabatini, Caceres & Cerda, 2001)...

This topic is important because...
