These are dark times for Argentina. Police forces of various provinces have gone on strike. While their demands are mostly valid, they cowardly leave all citizens to themselves, leaving the cities free to gangs of looters. The government once again remains mute and let the looters act as most of their electorate belongs to the low income classes.
The picture below depicts the Casa de Tucuman, where the declaration of Independance was signed almost 200 years ago. I am sure that Argentina’s founders would be quite ashamed if they witnessed what their nation is going through. (click on picture for high res)

I am currently travelling in the North West of Argentina. Though not a photography trip, I did take along my X1 to take a few snaps whenever possible. The heat today reached over 42 Celsius (we are entering Summer here) so any dark places was welcome to take a break from the pounding sun. (click on picture for high res)

This is somewhat of an unconventional framing, and layers could have worked better. Yet, despite these shortcomings, I think this shot gives a great sense of what walking on Avenue de Rivoli on a Saturday afternoon feel like. (click on picture for high res)
