A photoblog with large images of Buenos Aires - Active 2008 - 2011

Houses & Cars

Mini-Chalet & Citroen Picasso
Quasi Chalet & Toyota Hilux
When I'm out taking pictures of Chalet style houses and other bizarre architecture I don't usually like to get cars in the picture because the block the view. Sometimes, however, I like the cars. I feel they add a bit of 2009 into the scene. In 30 years these two photos will be a lot more interesting.

Yeah, there are some quite interesting houses down there. The thousand of different fence styles always amazed me, along with the colors they'd paint them.

llegué a tu blog por stumbleupon y me llamó la atención la segunda foto. Es en el barrio de flores? Quirno, creo?
Saludos, MUY lindas fotos.

Hola Vicio - Gracias por tus comentarios! Sí, creo que es Flores (o Floresta, quizás). Normalmente me fijo muy bien en mi camino pero justo ese día andaba con un poco de resaca y me desorienté.

Mordi - me parece que el estilo chalet combina muy bien con los 4x4

And WTF? I got 5000 visits on this day from Stumbleupon.com. Cool!!
