Theme day: “almost” empty

July 1st, 2009

It should have been called empty, but in my case I went for almost empty. Even though in a place like this one [we're in the north of Argentina, not far from the Bolivian border], the place’s called Salinas Grandes, it is hard to see lots of humans gathered around this salt desert. Emptiness, quietness and beauty describe this part of the country. This is a must-to-see spot for those who come visit Argentina.

Where is Amir?

June 28th, 2009

I saw this today while browsing others photoblogs from the City Daily Photo community that one talented blogger and photographer from Tehran went missing since June 17th. With all the uproar taking place in his country, the situation is critical and his missing worrisome. Hope he’s ok and that he’ll be back soon!

Cold weather

June 27th, 2009

..and I like it! It feels sooo good. I like winter in general more than summer, especially here in Argentina Buenos Aires [Gracias Fabian, tenes razon jajaja] where summer is just too humid and stifling.

Delicious ice cream

June 25th, 2009

Ice cream in Argentinian is by far the best ice cream I had compared to other countries. Is there anyone who think otherwise? ;=)

Tempting

May 27th, 2009

Yummy looking cakes at that French patisserie located on Malabia between Guemes and Charcas. My little guilty pleasure when I go there is, of course, to buy lots of pains au chocolat.
