In a previous incarnation of this blog, I posted a series of then & now shots from around Buenos Aires… an interesting way to look at the city. All sorts of problems need to be overcome: different makes of cameras, different fields of view, & increased traffic/people. Some pics have years when known, but most do not. Enjoy comparing the past & the present!
A set from Retiro taken in 2006:

As Jane Austen said: It is a truth universally aknowledged that a neon sign of CocaCola or McDonald’s ruin every view, whatever the year.
Definitely agree. But the new panel on 9 de Julio is kinda cool… only because it’s so high-tech. I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon 🙂
Hi Robert,
In case you did not see these photos in La Nacion today. Fantastic!
