These were taken in 2004. I think the track of the avalanche may have been down the hill in the background of the last photo. The land certainly looks scarred. <br /><br />From memory the structure in the background of the second shot is a cemetery (columbarium?) but whether its the one that survived or one for those who died in the avalanche/earthquake I can't answer. <br /><br />I found the information that I have by googling but I suspect that most info would be in Spanish.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03182743312553270315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771263145382809857.post-43091609523381218522012-02-14T14:06:07.684+11:002012-02-14T14:06:07.684+11:00What a great series of photos and an amazing story...What a great series of photos and an amazing story!

This would shut me up real pronto!<br /><br />I am having trouble getting my geography right.<br /><br />The landslip/ice slide can DOWN the valley or FROM the hill? It is astounding that anyone survived, but how ironic that those at the cemetery survived.<br /><br />In your second image, there is a raised area in the distance with a Jesus statue (a la Rio) on a series of buildings that could be carved into the raised area. Is that more recent, or something that survived?<br /><br />There appears to be the odd scattered stone or memorial. Were survivors/outsiders allowed to erect memorials to those who perished?<br /><br />No wonder the area looks flat and wierdly vegetated.<br /><br />What a tremendous cache of photographs you must have in your back pocket!<br /><br />Great stuff!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.com
