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.

  1. I imagine there are a lot of folks on our East Coast who would like to sink their feet into that warm sand. We are having a typically mild winter in Albuquerque, so I can't really complain, tho I would mind occupying a few square feet on the beach there as well.
