DAY'S END IN THE RETIRO

by mtncorg - last update: Dec 15, 2004

Oranges and purples
Daylight gives way slowly to night. Among the concrete canyons of the Retiro, the scene can be most dramatic - especially when viewed from on high.
Covered platforms of Estacion Retiro
Trains continue to puch in and out of Estacion Retiro, the muddy waters of Rio de la Plata murky in the distance.
Chasms as deep as nature. People living together and yet separate.
Canyons of Concrete darkening
English Tower showing that it is time for sherry!
The time of day given on the face of the Torre Monumental, much the same as it did when it was the Torre de la Ingleses.
The sounds of the City still surround. Colors may change, but noise continues.
Crimson and black
Night gathering strength
The sun has gone now. Dusk is fast at heel.
Streetlights slowly begin to take hold. Now is time for Life to begin.
Are you ready for dinner?

 What a fabulous city with great architecture! And you've done a monk's job writing about it with such detail. Hats off! :-)

 I was very inspired by La Boca and am curently rennovating my house using the colours and inspiration from this unaffected and beautiful barrio that has soul. See our La Boca renno...Gracias Argentina! http://cooteyart.blogspot.com/
