Happy Santiago Birthday, Taffy!

We took a funicular ride to the top of the hill, and had a beautiful view of the city below us. Taffy's birthday photo at: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2014-12-14

I love this image! It conveys the grandeur of the view from the hilltop (mountain top?), and the brilliant lighting, as well as the spread of the city. I also think the bonus of the way the rays connect land and sky adds a lot to an already fantastic shot.
