I was attending an SATW convention in Santiago and Valparaiso was offered as a day trip outing. It’s a colorful city that isn’t afraid of showing its age. The images from that day have remained among some of my most popular images among my stock files and, even though I have spent very little time there in total, Chile remains one of my top-selling countries for stock photography.<\/p>\n

I loved the city. Colorful and authentic, but not overly polished or touristy. It was a little gritty, but it had tons of character. It’s been many years since I’ve been so I can’t say what the visitor experience would be like today but I would love to go back again to explore further.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”3990″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][vc_column_text]The photo of the funicular (above) is probably one of the most-photographed scenes in Valparaiso. See the gallery below for more. The “eye” door is another popular subject. I’d seen various versions of that door before my trip when I was doing research but never thought I’d run across it in my single day of exploration. Yet, there it was, and I got a shot for myself.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”3987,3977,3981,3979,3985,3988,3986,3975,3984,3978,3980,3983,3982,3976,3989″ layout=”3″ masonry_style=”true” bypass_image_cropping=”true” item_spacing=”8px” gallery_style=”5″ load_in_animation=”fade_in_from_bottom” img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
