Salvo Palace Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Salvo Palace, building of the city of Montevideo designed by the architect Mario Palanti, was inaugurated in 1925 and with his 95 meters and 27 floors it was the highest tower of South America and the second higher of Latin America after the Building Moor in the City of Mexico. Independence is located in the corner of Avenue 18 of Julio and Plaza. Place where Gerardo Matos Rodriguez composed one of the most famous tangos of the world, the Cumparsita. Of eclectic style (doubtful and very criticized by many architects of its time) and characteristic silhouette, one has become an emblematic building of the city and reminder of the years of prosperity of the first decades of century XX.
This building has a twin brother in style, although of smaller height, constructed by he himself architect in Buenos Aires, the Barolo Palace.

Rafelito me gusta realmente la arquitectura vieja de Sud America. Pienso que es muy clasica y llena de detalles. Los edificios que nos muestras tienen tanto atractivo que parece que se encuentran en Europa. Es una lastima que nunca podre ver estas ciudades con mis propios ojos, pero si las vere en tus fotos. Gracias amigo :-)...Ojala algun dia visites Canada.

The sunlit architecture looks quite impressive and stands out nicely against the blue sky with good DOF. The two circles nearly the top of the palace look like big eyes. Good addition of the palm trees and framing.
Have a nice day

Hola Rafael,
Creo que has capturado una excelente toma del Palacio Salvo. Tengo muchas de este lugar pero ninguna con ese color de cielo. Mi novia a tomado varias y ha puesto alguna aqui en TE. Excelente trabajo y un gusto que visites mi pais!
Saludos

Hola Rafael,

¡Vaya cielo! El fuerte azul contrasta muy bien con el belloy clásico edificio, del que has logrado una muy buena definición. Las palmeras ponen el contraste de color y, sobre todo, la irregulaidad de la vida misma. Juegan un buen papel. Gracias.

Un saludo,
Angel.

Olá Rafael,
Além das cores, detalhes e da bela arquitetura, gostei como você compos a foto colocando as palmeiras na parte inferior , retirando outras interferências que poderiam aparecer se o corte fosse mais abaixo. Muito bom!
