My dear friend Jonathan asked in his periodical magazine MAGPIE (you can order it through vozinglesa@gmail.com) his readers to send some pics of nice sunsets in Uruguay. The response was sadly almost zero and I could figure that he was a bit disappointed about! That’s why I took over his idea, went through my files and found a few pictures worth to post.
It would be to much trouble to send them all to you, Jonathan, but I like to share them with you. Have fun and enjoy a few nice pics, taken during my travels in Uruguay. Click on pics, most will supersize for a better view, the small pics are often too dark.
The above three pictures are taken in Las Vegas from our terrace viewing down to the River Solis Chico.
Same sunset as above, submerging the house into deep orange colors.
Sunset watched from Bastion de Santa Rita, overlooking the Rio de la Plata, in Colonia. Sun is setting behind Isla San Gabriel.
Another sunset in Colonia from the same spot. This kind of view gave the name to the river „Rio de la Plata“ means „Silver River“. Because of the silver shine on the water people believed there must be a lot of silver under water. In distance again Isla San Gabriel.
Sunset over Laguna Garzon. In the foreground the „Floating Hotel Laguna Garzon“ near the circular bridge. Pic by „laguna garzon lodge“.
Picture taken with the sun. Sun sets against a weekend home at Cabo Polonia.
Beautiful sunset at the River Uruguay in Nuevo Berlin. Taken from the Parque Playa El Remolino.
Again two pics from our terrace in Las Vegas, watching the sunset over River Solis Chico. We have very dramatic sundowns here.
Sunset at Parque de Plata, in distance one can see Atlantida with the Antel tower.
A similar sunset at the beach of La Floresta, again with Antel tower Atlantida in distance.
This time a sunrise, taken from Piria’s Estancia Punta Lara in Argentina. Overlooking the Rio de la Plata with Uruguay on the other side.
Sunset at Rio de la Plata, taken from Playa el Calabres, near the Colonia International Airport Laguna de los Patos, .
Two different days, two different sunsets at the same beach at the Uruguay River (which will be further downstream the Rio de la Plata) in Las Canas, Fray Bentos.
I like pictures taken with the sun, they produce a very special atmosphere. here again Playa Grande in Las Canas.
And once more 2 different sunset’s in front our house overlooking the River Solis Chico. Often we had the chance to sip a glass of wine and enjoy natures spectacle.
This final one is taken from Laguna del Sauce overlooking a part of the laguna with the mountain Pan de Azucar in the distance.
For sure there are many many hundreds of other sunrise and sunset views and pictures out there. These are a few only and I hope you enjoyed watching them. Till next time !
