Santiago de Chile

       Chile, as with many other places in the Southern Hemisphere seems to be one of those places that is rarely talked about (outside of the penguin community), yet it also seems to have a lot going on. It contains one of the world's driest deserts, and climates ranging from subtropical to sub-antarctic. Right now it is the middle of Summer down there. Santiago is the country's capital city and it is doing quite well. I've never been anywhere in South America myself, but here are a few public domain photos of the country:
