In Passing snapshot - Sunset at the Port

Photographers are atracted to sunsets like mice to peanut butter, yeah maybe in france they like cheese...Anyway I would like to share a pic thet I took close to the montevideo port, with the help of "the photographers ephemeris" an app that helps you pinpoint the sunrises and sunsets exact vantage point. which comes very handy when you are around bays and peninsulas.

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.

El Jardin Japones

Come springtime in Montevideo its nice to get out and about. A nice place to visit on the weekends is the Japanese Garden, located on the grounds of the "Museo Juan Manuel Blanes" on Avenida Millan 4015 .
Even dough it is´nt very big its a nice place to chill out.

Photos from my last trip to Montevideo

Montevideo was very prolific in photo oportunities, so here is the PDF with some shots from the Trip.

The one and only



Yes, Montevideo has Skyscrapers, starting with the Antel tower at the riverside. From there you have a great 360° view of the city.

Proud Owner

Strolling through a neighbourhood fair in Montevideo I spoke with the proud owner of this 1931 Citroen Truck which he uses daily to carry his produce. Uruguay is full of these classics that are still running in perfect shape.

Speed chess in Montevideo

While in downtown Montevideo I bumped into these very typical uruguayans playing speed chess on the sidewalk of a very busy street. lots of concentration and speed, that´s the secret.
