A typical tree from the Pampas, the ombu, which in fact is not a tree. Its wood is very soft so the only usefulness known to man is that it gives shadow. Posted by Picasa
The river, Rio De La Plata. It is, as far as I know, the widest river in the world. On the other side there's Uruguay, but I thing it's more than 200 kilometers away. The Spanish conquerors thought it was a brown sea with non salty water. Posted by Picasa

Well, well, well, look what I found. This plane says "Republica Argentina" and doesn't belong to an airline. This is the presidential plane, called Tango 01, the T-01. ("Tango" is the name for the letter T in aeronautic language. It was chosen as the most known word at the moment beginning with the letter "T". Since tango is from here the presidential plane was called Tango 01)Posted by Picasa

I just LOVE this ad campaign. They show a white spot hanging from a rope and the shadow on the back tell you it's a t shirt... You can't actually see the t shirt because it is SO white that it blendes with the background white wall. (It's from a clothes soap).  Posted by Picasa
Years ago a plane crashed at take off... It belonged to the LAPA airline. Many people died. The statue says: They didn't fall, they died.  Posted by Picasa
