After many hours of rain and heavy sky, the sun appeared for a few minutes in the late afternoon and "goldened" that greyish day in Downtown Rio... The photo was taken from the terrace of a building located close to Tiradentes Square.

Rio de Janeiro - Catedral, Lapa & Santa Teresa

Some contrasts in Downtown Rio: the modern San Sebastian Cathedral (1972); the old District of Lapa, a night life neighbourhood, where restaurants, bars, music & dance clubs abound; and, on the background, Santa Teresa Hill, a charming residential neighbourhood, full of restaurants, art galleries and ateliers.

La Plata - Plaza Moreno

Capital of the Province of Buenos Aires, La Plata (just 50 minutes from Buenos Aires City, by car) is a still young city: its construction started in 1882, based in a modern and innovative urban planning project, whose main characteristics had influenced the construction of Belo Horizonte (Brazil), 15 years later. In this pic, a sight of "Plaza Moreno" (Moreno Square), with the City Hall on the back. La Plata worths a visit, for sure!
