I Saved The World Today

"Hey hey, I saved the world today
Everybody's happy now
The bad thing's gone away
And everybody's happy now
The good thing's here to stay
Please let it stay"

(By Eurythmics)

Some days ago, when I was on my way back home, I was inspired by this Eurythmics song and then I thought I'd have my own perception of what "to save the world" would be. Then, this past weekend I went out of my place in search of this scene in mind and found this troubled World lying on this winter's rain-wetted dead end street asking for help.

"Hoy Salvé al Mundo"

"Hey, hey, hoy salvé al mundo
Todos están felices hoy
Lo malo se ha ido
Y todos están felices hoy
Lo bueno está aquí para quedarse
Dejen que se quede"

(Por Eurythmics)

Hace unos dias, cuando regresaba a mi casa, me inspiré en esta canción de los Eurythmics y entonces pensé que tendría mi propia percepción delo que "salvar al mundo" sería. Entonces, este fin de semana pasado salí de m casa en busca de esa escena en mente y encontré a este acongojado Mundo tirado en este callejón mojado por la lluvia pidiendo ayuda.

My Hometown Part I

I recently made a brief trip to Los Andes, my hometown. It's a small country town located just 80 Kms northbound Santiago City surrounded by the Andes Mountains, hills and a vast valley crossed by the Aconcagua River. It's so easy and rapid to get there.
It was a sunny Sunday morning of June that I made up my mind to take my bag and camera and headed to my hometown to stay there for a couple of hours just to visit the Santa Teresa de Los Andes old monastery. As Chile is mostly a Roman Catholic-based religion population, I wanted to visit this old Monastery and make some visuals inside it. This is the result and I wanted to portray the old monastery and the place where Sor Teresa de Los Andes lived and spent her religious living years. She was Chile's first female Saint named by the Vatican in 1993.
I will go back to my hometown to show you the place where I was born and where I spent my childhood years. I promise.
