Hello class again! On this occasion, we will be talking about photographs.
I believe we all have our favourite piece somewhere, hidden or uploaded, which
causes us to be proud of ourselves. Maybe you like a picture of a landscape or
that special pet that you care of so
much. I once read this comment about photographs…'a snapshot is a reflection of our memories, a cut of time preserved
for the future'. What do you think about it?

Penco is a small town near Concepión. I captured this picture many years back. What I liked about that moment, was the fact that people were enjoying a warm summer day under the sun. There were dozens of tends and sun umbrellas across the beach. Children were drinking juice and youngsters were playing games laughing abundantly!
I remember people's voices, they all sounded so relaxed and happy. Some ladies were analysing the last events happening at their favourite soap opera. Some men were reading the local newspaper and some others were listening a sport game on the radio. The air was filled with a pleasant noise and the ambiance of families and good humour could be seen everywhere.
Time to time a 'micro' passed by announcing (shouting should I say) their way back to 'Conce' and some vendors were offering their products at lunch time...It was a lovely day strolling about in Penco beach, by the south of Chile.
I remember the weather was so perfect on that day, the funny thing is, the next day it was raining profusely and the beach was empty. The photograph was taken by my brother, mine went all blurred. Another interesting fact about that day, isn't it?
You observed pretty good the surroundings of the Penco beach. The photograph was transformed into the wonderful memory due to the happy voices, the conversations, the relaxation and whole you saw and heard that summer day in the south of Chile.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the beach because there are a lot of people, but I like the aesthetics of the photo.
ReplyDeletePS: A photo of the beach in the rain, is beautiful!
I have never visited the city of Penco, but from what I see in the photo and what you say, it seems to be a nice place. Maybe my next trip will be to go to the town of Penco. ♥
ReplyDeleteI never visited Penco, to be honest i did know that city exist jaja. I really like the photo, the beach its beautifull i hope i can visit sometime.
ReplyDeleteThis photograph is a true reflection of the spirit that lives on the beaches. I am a beach lover and I also like to photograph them, mainly because of the energy they transmit.
ReplyDeleteI went to Penco as a child! I have relatives in Coronel, and when I was a child I used to go to that beach, it is very nice, but there are always a lot of people. This picture brought back good memories.
ReplyDeleteI think the best photographs are those that record the happiness of people enjoying the simplicity of life. Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteI've never been in Concepción, I don't like the beach either, but I still keep going all the summers, I think is only part of habit. When I go, I just like to rest in the sand with a parasol upon my head, I don't like to much enter in the water.
ReplyDeleteWhat I like most about your photo is the calmness and peace that the place shows. The landscape look very natural and very beautiful. Unfortunately with the pandemic these images with all the people together can not be seen but I hope that soon people can meet again in this natural places.

ReplyDeleteI love that southern climate, you do not know if the next day it will be sunny or it will rain torrentially, I am a fan of the cold.
It is a very nice picture, I have never visited Concepción but I imagine it is a beautiful place. The photo shows very well the concept of a beach, being with the family and enjoying the summer. My favourite season of the year is winter, but the photo shows a very nice moment.
ReplyDeletewhat a nice picture, there is nothing better than remembering amazing moments with a capture, and also seeing some summer sunshine, thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for the moment that we can be able to go to the beach and enjoy the days of summer as we did 2 years ago:(
ReplyDeleteTeacher don't be like that, I miss the beach a lot :( I've never been to Penco, I usually go to the Litoral, but it must be beautiful if that's how you describe it!
ReplyDeleteThat´s a nice photo, i remember when i going to the beach when i was a kid. The south of chile is a beautifull place to travel, there is a lot of diferents environments and like you said, one day could be sunny and the other could be rainny, that is the magic of the south
ReplyDeleteI saw your picture and I was just thinking in one thing: How much I miss summer:(. I really don't like the beach a lot, maybe it's beacause I don't pass very good time with my family. When we went to the beach we just used to eat and then leave. It was pretty boring.
