Saturday photoblogging: murals at Estación Retiro

Estación Retiro

the rains came last night in advance of a cold front and this morning, the temp was in the low 40s(F), with a brisk wind making it feel more like the mid-30s... i've been planning to photograph the murals in estación retiro, the largest commuter train station in buenos aires, where i pass through at least 4-5 times a week... unfortunately, i found that the platform with the best vantage point for shooting was locked and inaccessible, but i still managed to get a few halfway decent shots...

buenos aires is famous for both its murals and its graffiti... i did a post on the graffiti on my other blog quite some time ago (which you can see here)...

p.s. the panorama shot of retiro is not mine...
