Villa Luro Yellow

I always love it when owners of different sides of the same structure give them different paint jobs. I also really liked this shade of yellow as well as the red and green.

Landscaping

The owner of this groundfloor apartment is clearly making the most of a limited space for landscaping.

All Boys Puto

Walking near Parque Avellaneda I came across this pintada for Club Atletico All Boys, one of the neighborhood soccer teams. A supporter for a rival team scrawled "puto" [faggot, a very common epithet in sports here] right between the letters of "Boys". I also find it amusing the club's domain name is Caallboys.com.ar.

Lettuce Delivery

The morning vegetable delivery at a small verduleria or vegetable stand. I'm a fan of verdulerias. They're simple but the quality tends to be very good. Be sure, though, to wash everything first.

Ochava Shadow in Villa del Parque

Another ochava shadow. I wasn't gonna wait around until it got symetrical.

Kiosco Red & Blue

I seem to be on a color kick of late. It's hard to resist blue and red.

Mural by Abre

I liked this mural outside of a house in Colegiales. If you've got any info on the artist, please leave a comment. The name "Abre" which means "opens" in Spanish is a very ungoogleable name.

Sidewalk Asado

A wheelbarrow full of charcols, a steel rebar grill, and some tira de asado cooking under newspaper. I wanted to stay and hang out.

Mi Princesita

I love romantic graffiti. See also Gordita hermosa, sos todo.

Concrete Barriers

All the Jewish schools and religious institutions put up concrete barriers after the terrorist attacks on AMIA and the Israeli Embassy in the 1990s. It's hard to make them look pretty altho they at least tried here with the alternating colors.

White House in Villa Santa Rita

See also Casas in Caballito.

Fiats

This Fiat 600 has seen better days. What's odd is that it was clearly restored and tricked out before being left to decay.


You actually don't see too much sidewalk parking in Buenos Aires still I couldn't resist the powder blue. I like how it matches the color of the window blinds.
