A Walk in the Park (Urban Style)
     

Hervey and Paula go for a walk in the Santiago Metropolitan Park on the All Saint's Holiday weekend (Oct. 30, 2004). The park occupies several hills right in the middle of the city and splits downtown from the northern barrios.

To put things in perspective below is a map of the Park and above is an enhanced image looking at the park from the West going East from above. Downtown Santiago is just to the right of the river in the picture. Images are originally from here:
