This Document: A memory of my journey's around Valparaíso.

The cat of the butterfly hill (30 th June, Saavedra Stairs, Cerro Mariposa, Valparaíso, 2018, by Pedro Pino Rocco)
Hi reader's:

I was given the task to talk about a photo of my collection, so, I looked for something that had value to me, so, if you are good follower, you will find that on my previous post I talked about my hobby.
So, yes, you can predict what this photo is: a documentation of my experience.

It's was june 30th, and I was bored at home, none of my friends was avaliable at that moment, so I had two options: Die of boredom or find something to kill the time. I choosed what I tinked it was the best. So I decided to go out, but the real question was: where?

So I thinked for a while, then I found my answer. On one of my party nights -and probably drunk- I remember me and my friends going up the hill. The meta: Arrive to the Ongolmo lookout. There we shared a moment of peace, it was perfect, because we were young and carefree (we still young, but then we were more childish).

Looking for that memory on my head, I decided to revive that moment of exciment. So I picked up the Bus and choosed to go there again. There's no better way to revive something living it again -but this time not drunk-.

So, I get off the bus at the Parque Italia, then I walked two apple's towards the hills finishing at Colon avenue, then I walked along this strees towards The Aduna, Until I found a street called "Aguada". There is a little stair, that go up, I taked it. The stairs was under construction, so it was hard at first, but when you pick up the rhythm it goes easier.

For a moment, my curiosity played againts me because I got lost, but then I found my way to Baquedano avenue. There I walked donw. I was on my way to Ongolmo lookout, but I found something better: The saavedra stairs that were also connected to the Ongolmo stairs. It was a two for one, -an offer-.

Going down that vertical staris I found a black and white cat, it was a male, and also very charming. I petted his belly and taked pictures of him, while I was listening X (equis), a song of Nicky Jam (someone nearby was playing it).

Then the moment arrived, the cat posed for my and I taked the chance, the photo was made.- It was a good moment-. Thats why I like this photo, because it represents what I like to do, also it show one of my favorites places of Valparaíso, located at Butterfly Hill.

That will be all palls (quoting the Loony Toons).
Cheers.

  1. What a good photo and how entertaining your story. Not everyone is so curious and is encouraged to go alone to explore unknown places.
