Punta del Este, again

 A few from a weekend, a rare occasion for me. 

A seawolf owns this area in the harbor, at least when fish are being cleaned.



The gazebo marks the spot where the River Plate ends, or so I was told. 


The fishing boats are candy for the eye.

Church interior, with chairs 



The old lighthouse could be visited. We went upstairs, all of 150 steps in the spiral, and the final wood stair to the top. 


View from the top and manufacturer’s proud plate.




Thanks for looking!  All with Nikon F, various lenses, FP4+ in Beutler.

Back in photography

 The pandemic has eased down here, and things are slowly coming into the Tao groove again. 

A few frames for the blog, which is not forgotten.

Holocaust monument stones, near the River Plate.

Shadows on the garden bridge.


Self portrait on kettle. First picture after months of lockdowns.


Thanks for looking! Autocord all, except the last one, taken with old trusty Nikon F. FP4+ in Beutler, as usual.

It feels good to post again.

The harbor of Punta del Este in the low season

I do not go much to Punta del Este, but sometimes I am happy to take a friend to visit. The harbor is a mandatory stop, especially the fishing boats areas,



Fishing goes on all the year round, if weather allows. Some boats look sad, as if they have been put to float while their owners decide what to do with them.


A couple of old girls were chatting and enjoying the view.


The seagulls are always ready to pick up the discards from fish cleaning. They have learned to keep their position in order,


When the food comes out, it is a riot!


Thanks for looking!   Minolta Autocord, TMX 100 in Beutler.
