Couple Canvas Coitus

• 6

The painting in the middle by Pablo Suárez is part of the fine art collection compiled by Edward Shaw and María Padilla de Shaw. The whole collection comprises 100 paintings of contemporary artists and is considered one of the most important collections of Argentine modern art. The collection is continuously on exhibition in the two sites of the Torcuato Di Tella University in Buenos Aires. This picture, however, was taken in the Centro Cultural Borges. I leave the interpretation of the couple interaction in the picture and in the painting up to you.

Floriano Fall in Iguazu National Park

• 13

The most typical stops on any Argentine itinerary are Buenos Aires, Patagonia and the Iguazu Falls. The latter is about 1600 km north of Buenos Aires in the province of Misiones. It is almost impossible to describe the grandeur and might of the falls. You have to see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears. Believe me if you die without seeing the Iguazu Falls, you've missed out one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Where is the most incredible place you have ever been?

Karcherizing against the Sticker and Poster Mess

• 4

These guys are working for the Cliba Group, the waste management and environmental engineering company of Buenos Aires. They are constantly removing unwanted stickers and posters from walls, poles and signs. It must feel like in the myth of Sisyphus. Soon after the removal new ones will be put up again but at least they make the task of pasting posters all over the city more difficult. Well, this area is highly frequented by tourists so it gets much more attention. These waste and recycling bins stand near the Palacio del Congreso Nacional (Argentine National Congress). A high pressure water jet seems obviously to be the best tool for this job.

Public-Private Sponsoring in Buenos Aires

• 7

These streets are proudly brought to you by...
The sponsoring of street name signs in Buenos Aires is quite common but still surprising. Companies put up street signs branded with their corporate logos. They are almost everywhere throughout the city and it seems pretty normal to have these kind of advertising. I wonder what would happen if they were not sponsored. Would they simply disappear? Would street name signs even exist then?
Do you know other cities where the street name signs are branded?

Street Tango Corazon

• 12

The tango belongs to Argentina such as gauchos (Argentine cowboys), asado (Argentinean barbecue), mate or soccer. Some say dancing the Argentine tango is good to begin with when it comes to learn ballroom dances. I guess this is what tango teachers tell you. But before hitting the tango schools I would suggest you start from scratch by simply watching others dancing the tango in the streets of the city. There is a very high chance of watching locals dancing the tango somewhere in Buenos Aires.
What do you think is the best dance for starters?

Discovering Buenos Aires by Foot

• 10

I'm a little late on joining the City Daily Photo theme day. This time's topic is feet. Actually, feet are made for walking and I thought this picture would be an appropriate contribution. Buenos Aires is far too big to just walk it all up but I consider walking as a great way to discover the city. All other types of moving around may be more convenient and faster but they are less rewarding.
How do you prevent blisters from walking?

Urban Anonymity in Buenos Aires

• 8

Despite all beauty and elegance of Buenos Aires, you will find a lot of these anonymous, faceless high-rise buildings if you step off the normal tourist paths. They were mostly built in the modern spirit of rationality of the 1970s. The good thing is you have a magnificent view from up there.
