The colours of Chile and Argentina are bright and vibrant, like the cultures they illustrate. Life is painted in deep reds, aqua blues and emerald greens. However, I managed to find two places where colour was consumed by metallic greys and blacks.
The above picture is of an abandoned train station near the centre of Santiago. It was taken on a cloudy winter's day, complementing perfectly the harsh coldness of the space.
The below picture is looking into a crypt at the Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. Many Argentinian presidents, military leaders, scientists and artists are buried there. The most famous resident is Evita Duarte de Peron, the wife of ousted Argentine leader Juan Peron. She was finally buried at Recoleta in 1976, 24 years after her death.
