In passing snapshot - The urban tree lane
This pic was definitely taken in passing, hence its blurriness. The point is that cities with trees tend to give its inhabitants a certain serenity, something I´ve noticed in Montevideo.
In any case I found this stretch of Paraguay street very picturesque, adorned with a type of tree that here they call "Platano", found all over the city.

A canadian relic - the Toronto made Overland
As funny as it may sound, in all my years living in Toronto, I never heard bout an overland car factory that had operated in the city. To my surprise when going over some shots I took at the old car show I covered in La Floresta, i saw that one of the early 1920's models was actually made in T.O.
It seems that overland was a division of Willys, later bought by jeep and GM, that had a factory located in Toronto the good. Funny that i came all the way to Uruguay to see one of these beauties for the first time.

The Copper pot man in San Telmo
Here´s a tip for you, if you visit the San
Telmo fair, on Plaza Dorrego, in Buenos
Aires. Among the many tables found there, you will see
the old man that sells copper ware, basically anything made of copper, but
specially pans and pots which he makes himself. There isn’t much science in a
copper pot, but these are well made and very cheap. Like normally a medium size
copper pot will set u back around 120 to 150 bucks. Here you can get a brand
new one for $40. I actually used one to make marmalade and was very satisfied
with its performance, so I got a second one.
