A field Trip

Hi!  Hi!
In Geography is very usual have fields trip, this are month to month in differents course. But is important mention that the Geographers refer to leave to field" or "Be in the field".
Today will speak about my lats trip to the hill "San Cristóbal" in Santiago de Chile. (The last monday, in the course  "Recovery of degrade áreas II" (Recuperación de áreas degradadas II)
 .
Went a group of classmates (aprox 15 person) beside the teacher and a tutor, the theme of trip was the observation and study of slope in the hill. Also we should look the vegetation of different tree, look and analize the human intervention for control of slope to distinct altitudes. On top we take a sample of some tree for realize a herbarium.

For me, leave to field is the best! , I can know, learn and touch the reality that the books describe. This "journey to field" were very special. but we could see the sunset but this time the sunset of the city"

Below a photographs of this day and a take of  a specie, her name is "Tree from sky"  (arbol del cielo) and is a insert specie in Chile.
