Paloma's photo

Hello!... today i'm going to write about this photo what i love it. I took it with a little camera in summer's 2014. The persons in the photo are my brothers Ivano and Bruno. We were in the Paloma's mountain near from Santiago in a place named "yerba loca". I like this photo because we see a old glacier and his big steep. Also, i love this photo for a place what represent.

This is a very beautiful and big mountain valley (now administrate for the lo barnechea's municipality). I think this park are very important for many reasons. First, for a personal reason: i was in there many times when i was child, that's a place of my childhood where happened many things and moments with my family (my parents and brothers). Secondly, i consider that palce is very divers in flora and fauna. There are lives many species of animals like different kind of birds, fox, vizcacha, cóndor, hare and many kind of rodent. Also we found many kind of medicinal plants like "yerba loca", "culantro de la montaña", "toronjil cuyano", "cuye colorado", etc.
 Other reason because i consider that place important is for the mountains and the water. The principal drinking fountain of santiago come from that mountains (which can see from the city, perfectly from plaza italia to the orient) this is the place where come from the "rio mapocho", when this is a clean water recently thaw from the ice. The yerba loca's valley is entrance for the most bigs mountian from the central region of Chile. Since there we can walk to the enormous glaciers what stay in there since millions years ago and that's very amazig spectacle because is another world very cold, very inhospitable. The majority of people think that if you want to see a impressionant glacier you have to travel far away. They don't know that around Santiago are one of most amazing land of ice of America.
 Lamentably, (and like happened with many important places or things in Chile) 21 of that enormous glaciers are selling to the business for take advantage of the minery. That is a very impact what mean the future destruction of the glaciars and of course destruction of water. ¿Which could be the future drinking fountain of Santiago if the state of chile sell the principal element for life?.
