Hidroaysen

Someday I went to my dance class, after the English class, two or three weeks ago, and my eyes started to pain so much, I was so scared because then I couldn’t breathe, I didn’t know what was happening, and then I remembered that, that day was the voting about hidroaysen, and I realized that the project had been approved.
I couldn’t believe it, because I really hate this project, and I think that many persons think like me. I think that a hydroelectric power station is a good idea, but this project is terrible. I can’t imagine the Chilean Patagonia with high tension cables, it will be terrible! In that case they should build the cables under the ground but they will not do it because it’s so expensive, but the Patagonia’s beauty is worth it.
The worst part is that people that live there will not have any benefit, and either the rest of the population in Chile all the energy will be busy by large firms.
I think that everybody criticize the project but no one do anything for save energy, criticize is so easy, but it doesn’t help, we must think about it and act.
Hydroelectric power stations are so much better than thermoelectric power stations, but it doesn’t mean that hidroaysen is a good project, it have many problems that we can’t accept.

Valdivia!

Here you can see the botanical garden of the “Universidad Austral de Chile” in Valdivia. I took this photo on May 17th  at my best friend’s birthday. This year for the first time, we had vacations on May so I went to Puerto Varas to visit my family. My best friend studies in the UACH in Valdivia, that it’s located three hours north of Puerto Varas, so I went there for the day.
He showed me the whole university, and it’s so beautiful. I love my university but when I know this one I couldn’t believe it. It is located on an island in the center of the city so you can see the Calle-calle river in the whole university and it’s so awesome!
Inside the university there is a botanical garden that is an awesome place, there are the most beautiful color that I’ve ever seen, I don’t like autumn very much because I hate to be cold, but I love the colors it have, I love to see the leaves falling from the trees and that’s why I love this photo, I love the way it shows the magic of the place, seeing this photo I could remember the sound of the trees moving because of the wind, even I can smell the wet ground again.
I hope you can enjoy this picture as I do, and you can visit this place too.
