Long weekend in Mendoza - The Junkyard Find

When visiting the Alfajor factory in "Playa de Lujan" y devised some wrecked cars in a field, so I went to check it out and find some semi striped Argentine built cars that belonged to a gentlemen that was selling grilled chicken at the roadside.

So after asking permission I captured some great HDR shots of his collection and also purchased a whole grilled chicken which I ate with the help of a stray puppy that was nearby,

Some more shots can be vied at my 500px page.

In Passing Snapshot - the "San Lorenzo" Bus

Sometimes you snap a photo just cuz you like the shape or colour of something you see. On this occasion walking to a shoot in Villa Urquiza, y saw this red bus, and did some shots and was on my way. Upon further analysis,  I realised that this was an unique bus only to be found in Buenos Aires. First because its a classic Mercedes Benz "Colectivo" that circulated from the 60s till the early 90s in Buenos Aires. To such an extent that they even have one in the M.B. museum in Stuttgart. Secondly its painted with a red and blue theme dedicated to the "San Lorenzo" soccer club, that even has the Pope as one of its fans.

Under Repair

I really enjoy walking around the neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires, and see the classics under repair, plus the authentic cobble stone roads and vintage houses. These are not the recycled cobbles of the touristic areas that are renovated to look old.

These beauties are found in the streets of Buenos Aires, I don´t think its abandonement but mostly that they lack driveways. I also processed the pics photomatix HDR software for an extra unf.
