PICS FROM CHILE
I visited Chile in November 2009 (various parts of the country between latitudes 22 and 42 degrees South). The best photographs were from La Campana, which has the native Chilean wine palms and the mountains around Pucón. The habitats varied greatly, from locations where rain has never been recorded to places receiving over 100 inches of rain per year.
