Sunny side Up!!

After visiting the Buenos Aries cemetery it is time to leave the city with some bright and beautiful photographs...to give you some idea of the really fantastic city it is. The roads are broad boulevardes in the main with architecture similar and in fact influenced greatly by that of Paris in the 1930's.
Restaurants are within walking distance of anywhere and wide open spaces dominate. Shopping is a favorite pastime.




However Buenos Aries is known for this amazing metal (stainless steel) flower which opens in the morning in response to sunshine and closes in the evening when the sun sets. It has been designed and built as a water feature.









The white building in the background is the recycling center which did its darndest to wish everyone a happy festive season with their Christmas tree made out of recycled material as well as the seats resembling gift boxes.



Comfort may not have been a pre-requisite
consideration of the design. But considering Christmas is nearly upon us for another year the photographs I thought belonged here rather than in my computer album. Have a happy festive season!!!







People crowded the streets interested in searching for the most suitable gifts. Of course there was McDonalds offering a well earned rest for those not very choosy!!
