Hey there,
finally the sun is back!! 😍☀️
And in honour of, hopefully, a sunny weekend 😎
I wanted to share this beautiful photograph with you guys!
Two years ago, I was passing exactly this spot, driving with a friend of mine, at the most beautiful stunning time of day 😍
The sun was setting, so it was an orange-red colour, and it was hitting the bays at the perfect angle!
Everything looked golden! The waves were crashing against the rocks, the sky had a purple-blue ish colour - it looked absolutely magical! ✨
It was like the most perfect photo I had ever seen, for me it looked like straight out of a dream. But as quickly as we saw this spot, we were already passing it 🚗
Since there aren't that many stops on the highway in Chile, and you have barely an opportunity to turn around (usually in the next small village that is often half an hour or longer away), we couldn't get back so I could take a photo of it.
Saying that I was seriously bummed, was a total understatement!
I couldn't shake the image I had seen, and I wanted to get another opportunity to capture that beauty sooo badly.
I took my aunt on a little drive to come out to this spot, a couple of times, when I was staying with her, but I either hadn't found the spot anymore or it had gotten too dark - so I had to give up eventually 🥺
It's true that I sometimes feel a deep sadness for photos that I didn't take, but I was never THIS sad!
Last year, I went back to see my family again, since my grandma wasn't doing so well for a bit.
Due to Covid and to protect my family, especially my abuelita, I decided to rent a car again and I was travelling with my camera - just in case - when I saw this spot in my side mirror, again!😁
I had to get out and, even if the conditions weren't this magical again, at least get ONE photo of this location.
Now I get, that after my description, this might be a little bit of a letdown 😂
But it was beautiful nonetheless, and felt fitting with the weather we got to enjoy today 🥰☀️
Hope you guys have an amazing weekend! 🤩🙌🏽
