Mural on Blanco Encalada

Mural on Abandoned House on 3 de Febrero and Blanco Encalada in Belgrano
I liked the mix of graffiti and political murals on this abandoned house on the corner of Blanco Encalada and 3 de Febrero in Belgrano. I took the photo at night, using a custom white balance to correct the very orange street lamp. I don't think street lamps emit a normal distribution of light so correcting for them can result in some very strange colors. I kind of like the effect, though.

Another nice effect id the fact that the shadows are projected to different directions... but it looks as if there were sunlight.

y el cartel de "ceda el paso" tiene la pe borroneada para que parezca una efe "ceda el faso (porro, joint, cigarrillo de marihuana)" una broma ya muy comun.
