Sunday Selections

Sunday Selections, brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, is an ongoing theme where participants post previously unused photos languishing in their files.

Anyone can join in, just post your photos under the Sunday Selections title, link back to Kim, then add your name to her Linky list at Frogpondsrock.

This week I thought I would hunt up some of my photos from Argentina.

    I adore those bright coloured houses, they are so fabulous. Wonder how my hubby would feel if we did that here :D

    I love the street lamp and those colourful houses. My favourites are the waterfalls. I just love a water-trees combination.

    Love the multi-coloured houses and the waterfalls (but who doesn't love water?!).

    What a world of contrasts - guns, charming houses and those majestic falls!

    There is a melting pot of photos to choose from here. I vote for the mountain range and the waterfall both are nature at her most powerfull and spectacular :-).

    Argentina was a mass of contrast. The falls were amazing - though the climate nearby vile (hot and sticky). And every town/city I visited had gun shops, and all the people were super friendly. The coloured houses were in an area of Buenos Ares, and were so cheery. Loved them. But they started life as an economy measure - using up left over paint.

    I see that lady fi has stolen my comment. I was struck as well by the sheer contrast of the images and what it said about your memories of the place. A country of great beauty, history, passion and flashes of the eccentric and downright bizarre :-) I am particularly drawn to the waterfalls - such power and majesty. Though I'm also now singing "Don't cry for me, Argentina" after seeingt the first picture - lol!

    What a great variety of photos, which taken all together express something about the country. I especially like the photo of the coloured houses with the people outside. I began to imagine what it was like to be in that society and about how the people live.

    Love the waterfal shots, just gorgeous :)

    Why don't we have those beautifully coloured houses in Australia? They seem to exist all around the world but not here :(

    Great photos - love the colourful houses and those magnificent waterfalls. The guns are kind of interesting as well given you don't see that here in Aus. Thanks for sharing

    What beautiful waterfalls. And I just love the lizards. They look fascinating. I'd really love to visit South America.

    I love the coloured houses. And the street lantern. And the waterfalls. Well, everything I guess ;-)

    Are they the Iguazu falls? Very beautiful, as are random reptiles and birdies.

    Iguazu falls they are. Truly amazing place. The birdies were vultures. Not certain what flavour the lizards were. There were also some AMAZING blue butterflies but I wasn't quick enough to capture them.

    I see we share a love of Evita. Those waterfalls just need a bit of tweaking -- have you seen this internet meme? It's bizarre but weirdly mesmerising:

    Ampersand Duck: You are right about both the weirdness and the fascination of that link. Thanks
