the death of peronismo?
Monument to the May Revolution.
The day after former president Nestor Kirchner, and husband of current president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, died of a heart attack.

From top: Flags fly from the gate separating the Casa Rosada from the Monument to the May Revolution. Mourners and the curious gather by the gate.
A mourner affixes a single rose to the memorial wall.
Waiting in line for the velorio, or viewing, in the Casa Rosada.
There were people camped overnight in the plaza.
From top: "Fuerza Cristina," a popular sentiments on the cards, notes, banners and messages spray-painted on buildings around the plaza.
They called Kirchner, el pingüino because he came from the province of Santa Cruz, in the south.
From top: The liner of mourners wishing to enter the Casa Rosada stretches multiple blocks along Avenida de Mayo.
**I'm going to be a bad J-school graduate and state that I do not support los kirchneristas, justicialistas or peronistas
the mighty elephant seal
Male elephant seal napping on the beach.
I think elephant seals are one of the most bizarre creatures ever.
It's all open sea and deep diving for strange ocean creatures for most of the year, then fighting, mating (hopefully) and sleeping.
Look at all the scars on his face.

buttons
Strings of buttons at the San Telmo covered market.
I like how the red buttons on the left look like surprised faces,
and how all the buttons are reds and beiges, except those two strings of bright blue in the middle.

hello young lovers...
Public displays of porteño affection in Plaza Armenia.
I was a creeper, but they didn't notice me...phew.
I still get shy about photographing people.
