  • José Carbajal, "El Sabalero"
  • Sand textures
  • Uruguayan Sun
  • Uruguayan Son
  • Ship-shape...
  • Is it still called driftwood if it hasn't drifted yet?
  • Returning to Montevideo from Atlantida
  • A trip out to the lighthouse
  • Golden hour as we neared our apartment
  • Sunday street market
