I took this photo in Plaza de Mayo.
This is a busy area with lots of symbols of Buenos Aires. I looked for a unique angle to capture some of the symbols. The focus is on the white shawl painted on the ground, which symbolizes the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. These white shawls are painted all around the plaza with the May Pyramid in the middle.
If you are not familiar with this organization or the political history, read this article on Wikipedia.
Beautiful. Some day I’m going to get to travel, and this is one of the places I’d love to visit!

Great photo and I like your angles. What a story about the mothers. Chills me to the bone.

I watched a really interesting Argentine film about the “disappeared ones” from the perspective of a teenage girl who is told that the people she thinks are her parents are not, and they take her away to live with her real grandparents. My understanding is that they are using blood tests now to try and identify situations like this. Of course it is a political mess and a terrible situation for everyone involved.

It is so nice now. But I will be getting out of here before it becomes unbearably hot and humid.

I have found that when I cannot get everything I want in the frame, I look for an angle that can get all the elements.

I can see why people have told you that you have a thing for angles, that’s the first thing I noticed about this photo. I really like the perspective.
