Sometimes I just love what a cell-phone camera can capture (as in this retro-looking pic by my daughter Lila). This beautiful 1917 Art Nouveau building in Buenos Aires, right across the street from the Argentine National Congress, housed a famous coffeehouse, the Confiteria del Molino. The whole place is badly in need of restoration—and lots of people have lobbied to bring this National Historic Monument back before it falls into a permanent state of disrepair.

I LOVE old architecture, this is a beauty! Visiting from Skywatch!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful character in this gorgeous old building! And the sky patterns add drama to this delightful scene!
ReplyDeleteReally nice photo!
ReplyDeleteThe renaissance oil-painting lighting adds much.
ReplyDeleteIt is fascinating to see the architectural evolution that has occurred from this. As a defense against quixotic attacks?
This is fantastic, really awesome!
