Strolling around the neighbourhood....


Delivery to Plaza Serrano in Palermo. A Viejo Cochero has somehow found his way into the neighbourhood to deliver a carriage load of people to one of the many bistros surrounding the plaza

Every corner seems to open a window into a bygone era, many of the buildings date back to the turn of the century - the 18th to the 19th century that is.


Some of the trees lining the Avenidas and Calles are in full summer bloom...

Calle Armenia - now I know why the name. There are restaurants, churches, community halls and shops - all Armenian and identified in both, Spanish and Armenian,languages.


Another typical street scene, the different coloured houses seem to blend perfectly together


There are a number of boutique hotels in the area, most of them in historic buildings - one wonders how the plumbing is functioning, if it is functioning at all...

Still Life of store-front Mannequin gazing at dog poop (the brown blobs in the foreground).


The person on the right is the male....Argentinians of either sex seem to love long flowing hair...


One of the many apartment caretakers. I wish I could borrow this one to polish my brass work (on Millennium Dragon) to such a mirror smooth shine.
