Photographer’s Note
Las GalerÍas Pacífico son hoy un shopping center, se encuentran en la manzana delimitada por las calles:
Florida, Viamonte, San Martín y la Av. Córdoba, en Buenos Aires.
Fueron creadas por los arquitectos Francisco Seeber y Emilio Bunge para albergar las Grandes Tiendas Bon Marché.
Se caracteriza por sus cúpulas pintadas por los artistas: Spilimbergo, Berni, Eneas, Castagnino, Colmeiro y Urruchua.
Y por sus bóvedas de vidrio.
Aquí una foto de su piso más alto donde también se encuentra el Centro Cultural Borges, donde se realizan exposiciones de artístas, fotógrafos, escritores, etc. Se puede ver una de sus bóvedas de vidrio y las esculturas de un artista (alguien me puede decir cual?) hechas con aparatos de baño.

The Pacific Galleries is today a shopping center, it is in the block delimited by the streets: Florida, Viamonte, San Martín and the Ave. Córdoba, in Buenos Aires.
They were created by the architects Francisco Seeber and Emilio Bunge to lodge the Great Stores Bon Marché.
It is characterized by its cupolas painted by the artists: Spilimbergo, Berni, Eneas, Castagnino, Colmeiro and Urruchua.
And also by its glass vaults. Here a photo of its last floor where there is the Borges' Cultural Center, where exhibitions of artist, photographers, writers, etc can be seen. You can see one of the glass vault and the scultures of an artist (Can anyone tell me who is the artist?) made with bathroom stuff.

Very interesting space, well presented in this clear and crisp picture. The foreground sculpture makes an eyecatching focal point. Good work Ana!

Oi, Ana! Você conseguiu mostrar o edifício das Galerias Pacífico sem a interferência das lojas e dos quiosques que impedem que se observe toda a sua beleza e imponência. Lembro dele quando ainda era ocupado por uma agência da Companhia Estatal de Ferrovias, em estado bastante precário, e logo depois de sua restauração, ainda sem todas as lojas, esplendoroso! Sua foto, original e de composição primorosa, consegue fazer-me abstrair a idéia de que dentro dele funciona um shopping center!!! Parabéns! Um abraço! Miguel.

Hi Ana Ines !
That's a very good capture of light, the ceiling is amazing !
You did not mentioned a tripod for this one, but at 1/10s I guess your camera was not handheld ?
Good work anyway !

Ola Ana!
Pela foto quase diria que era um Museu. A foto está muito boa. A composição ficou muito bem com as luzes e esta escultura em primeiro plano.
Bonita foto!
Cumprimentos, Anabela
