The port city of Valparaíso is extremely hilly and has a number of historic "ascensores" or funicular railways. Quite a few of these are still running and are used as everyday transport by the locals.
Taken on the 2nd of January, 2006.
Me encantan los viejos ascensores de Valparaíso. No hay mejor manera para subir los cerros de la ciudad.
Just an update here: Thanks to all who've commented so far -- and to anyone else who cares to do so. I'll reply if I think doing so will add anything useful. Gracias a todos por el interés en esta foto.
Thanks for visiting my pages. I welcome all comments and any constructive criticism.
Thursday 24th of June: Just returned last night from the trip to Northern Australia, during which I was hardly able to get online at all. Thanks for all the comments lately. It will take me a few days, but I'll catch up with return visits to your pages.

Brilliant capture, I really love the blue house on the right, perched so high up.

They could be scary if not well maintained. Very nice shot. The colour has been nicely caught.
