NICOLAS AVELLANEDA BRIDGE Av.Pedro de Mendoza, between Necochea street and Av. Almirante Brown.

Continuing with the previous image
La Boca - Cosmopolitan Neighborhood here everything can be seen icon of this so peculiar zone of Buenos Aires.

The Mouth of the Creek (La Boca del Riachuelo) has the particularitity to have two points one of the other and both with the same name closely together... Nicholas Avellaneda.

Its length overall is of approximately 1600 mts. and be far 50 mts. of the old transporter bridge that dates from 1914, whose colossal structure and solid appearance are worthy to be contemplated by its lines of undeniable aesthetic suggestions. For this reason one became the heraldic sign, identifier of La Boca.

In addition it has been incorporated to all pictorial attempt of the Brook (like for example to many pictures of Quinquela Martin) and to the impact of whichever photographic objective, also builds not only of the hands of innumerable tourists but of the Buenosaireans (portenios).

Etrange pont ,une vue extraordinaire sur cet endroit .Brabo. Riccardo.

great work, they look like bridges and also the size of the people are great, well done

Extremely well composed Ricardo. I like the contrast between the urban atmosphere, and the natural water element. The reflections are very well seen. Congratulations.

A nice industrial looking cityscape. The POV is well chosen giving a nice repetition and fine reflection. Sharpening and exposure are great. You could perhaps add just one or two steps of contrast.

Very good informative note Ricardo, I like the contrast between the urban atmosphere, and the natural water element. Good depth and sharp and clear.
Thanks for sharing.

THis metal contruction is very interesting, Ricardo, and I like also the reflection. I'd try to brighten it a bit, see my ws. Well done.

Me encantan tus fotografias de Bs. As. Esta foto es muy buena, pero estoy esperando tus fotos de tango "callejero". Me interesa es Riachuelo mas limpio que anos anteriores? Una vez mas, gracias por tus fotografias de "Mi Buenos Aires querido".

Encore un très bel apperçu de cet endroit, des couleurs claires ,de beaux reflets Bravo Ricardo.
Amitiés.

Good shot of this very special and strange looking bridge. Interesting

A beautiful industrial shot, Ricardo. Good reflections and a quite subtle light, and the amount of sharpening and detail looks just about right to me. Very interesting notes to explain the context, well done.

HOla Ricardo:

Excelente toma de Bs As!
Me dan unas nostalgias al ver tus fotos.
Desearia ir hoy mismo a tu ciudad de ser posible.

Hay tantas cosas por ver...

saludos!

Trés bon en détail et en presentation cette prise est interessante de part l'architecture presentée et le cadrage qui donne beaucoup de valeur au sujet.
Bravo RIcardo.

A very interesting construction, Ricardo, which is reflected beautifully in the water. It seems strange to see the flats so close to it. Good lighting and detail. Well framed.

An amazing structure indeed! The POV is good and the composition balanced due especially to the space at the right. Good reflection.

Could work very well in BW.
