The angle's not quite right but until I get to know the owner of the house on the corner of Lautaro Rosas and Miramar, I'm never going to be able to get it perfect.
Update: I had another photo and I think the angle's better. It's still not prefect though. It's the first photo under 2008.

The photos were taken from the third floor suite at the Zero Hotel

cool! Almost a pity the white building in front of the red one isn't still there, it was beautiful too. I love old postcards like this.
(And I think you got the angle almost perfect.)
Best wishes from Sweden,

The big white building? It's still there-it's the big yellow one now in front of my house. In fact, if you look closely enough, in the postcard you can see a black kind of line towards the bottom left hand corner of the white building. In the 2008 photo, you can make that out as a big old cantilevered window. In the postcard, the black mark is obviously the scaffolding from when they were actually building that window.
question on valpo: you probably don't smoke but do you know of any good smoke shops in the city, specifically looking for a place to buy quality cuban cigars.
Thanks in advance
I have to say I have no idea if there are any decent smoke shops. This is a port town so i'd expect there to be somewhere for get tobacco but I reckon you might have more luck in Vina.
I love old pictures. It's always fascinating to see how a city has changed over time.
Really love what you've done here!
