Forlorn corner

This is a lost corner in peripheral Montevideo (Coronel Raiz St. and Batlle & OrdoƱez Boulevard). The weeds have grown high. The current election campaign has helped aesthetics, by painting white a section of the old brick wall.

I doubt this corner was any different 50 years ago.

Boats and bows

I've been walking again along the marinas of the Yacht Club, this time with a 50 mm lens and nothing else in the Pentax ME. There was a tremendously low tide on Saturday and a lot of boats were touching the mud bottom.

Cerrito Church

This beautiful church was built on the same hill where the siege army had its headquarters during the Guerra Grande (1839-1852). The hill is called Cerrito (small hill). I like this inverted view; it goes better with the melancholy of our winter.
