Foto of the Week from … Buenos Aires:  Hidden Walls

I love graffiti, especially in Buenos Aires.

Foto of the Week from … The Middle of the Andes:  Lines

I escaped the flooding desert after a rather miserable bus ride that inexplicably took about 6 hours longer than it should have. It is good to be back in Argentina. When the bus crossed the Andes in the north of Argentina, it was after dark, so I could not see much.  I just felt the […]

I took this photo at the Centro Cultural Ex-Carcel.  The prison at this site was shut down in 1999, and late last year a cultural center was opened on the grounds.
