Welcome to TrekEarth,
Killer shot, especially since it was 1974-man, I can see the 1974 color color. I like your framing here. Reminds me of an Old West Saloon. Maybe it got scan in hot, it's abit overexposed in parts. The blue came out strong. give us more of these oldies but goodies if you have them. Thanks for sharing.

Hej Chris
sometimes I wish buildings could be in certain condition, but there's always a point when you either have to renovate or demolish. At that time it's so great that someone manage to document.
about the photo? brilliant! in colors and good in comp (is that kind of photo that gives you interial design ideas.

This photo, taken in 1974, makes me dream : I was never in Chili but it reminds me of places like north Thailand or Burma, when I was travelling some 30 years ago ; now, all these old wooden buildings have been replaced of course, with the booming real estate - a very good idea to remind us how the old houses were built, and a shot full of nostalgia and poetry...
Congratulations,
Cath.

Funny, looks like a GuestHouse I stayed in once upon a time in Chile !!
Perfect symmetry. Good documentation.
A human element would be nice. To give some scale. But a small critique really..... somethings you cant control.

This facade in it's simple one tone colour, with a touch of the blue sky is a magnificent composition!
