Homage to Playa Verde

Playa Verde (Green Beach) is a small coast resort near Piriapolis, about 95 km east of Montevideo. A good place for a family to spend a summer vacation.



It is a relatively old place. This building used to be a diligence base and a hotel for travelers, according to local folklore.



A lot of birds live on the eucaliptus and pine trees.



And insects too; this giant moth is about 64mm long. The white disc is a 5-pesos coin, diameter 1 inch. Excuses for the grain, not a very professional scanning.

Summer!

Best season of the year is back. Time to rest wherever you can, if you can. A hammock in the shadow, close to trees full of birds, is not a bad place.



The eucaliptus trees in our coast have strange shapes in their bark.



Summer sunsets - the silence, sea sounds and cool breeze cannot be photographed.
