Those small fishing boats

I went back to my favorite subject, those small fishing boats packed together in the dock.



In the still water, they show their shadows and reflections.



Fast shutter speeds may, sometimes, show amazing lines and reflections coming from the fleeting movement of the water.



In a few weeks, these little boats will be very busy trying to net fish for the Holy Week. But now they just wait together, enjoying the summer heat. I like those bows with their shadows and reflections.



The stairs are ready if you want to board.

Labeling the city

The city has got a new label in Pocitos, so you do not forget where you are. A test label had come and gone sometime ago (somebody's living room must be full of giant plastic letters!). This one is made of something heavy and solid. Much harder to take away, except as a memory.




I would have said that such a monument to obviousness was doomed in our dry-humored, gray city. But fortunately I was wrong, which happens often according to my wife.
 
The giant label is a great hit. People queue for a group or family picture, and tourists flock to it day and night. Welcome, Label!

Malvin Beach

People in foreign countries talk about Generation Y, Generation X - the whole alphabet. We have just the Sand Dunes Generation in Malvin Beach. It is a project to stabilize sand movement with bushes and palm branches. It seems to work so far. The sand is still there.




The Dunes Generation plays soccer on the sand, same as we did so many years ago. Hard on the ankles but great fun.



Families go to the beach on weekends, when the weather is right.



It gets a bit crowded near Punta Gorda, and the life savers were in a labor conflict (not yet strike, we have many gradations. Fortunately nobody drowned.
