Saturday photoblogging: Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur

today was a beautiful day in buenos aires and i spent much of it walking with a friend through the Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur, an ecological preserve that lies between downtown and the rio de la plata... it was formed by dumping the excavation debris from the construction of the many subte lines (the buenos aires subway system is known as the subte, short for subterraneo) and letting nature slowly reclaim it... i'd been there before, but had forgotten just how pleasant (and BIG!) it is...
