Currently editing and processing my way through 13,000 pictures taken during 7 weeks in Argentina and Uruguay. Here's a hand held panorama from Iguazu falls (Brazil Side) . Initially didn't want to go up there, extra expense (flights etc) on a limited budget, but Mrs Shingle put her foot down.
This one taken during the indigenous carnival in Tilcara, Northern Argentina during early March. A Scots guy turned up out of nowhere with a kilt on and lifted it up to expose his bare bum, this is a no no in Argentine culture and even though it was carnival he had his bum spray foamed by the...
I took some pics in the old naval building where many people were tortured but is now a museum to the 'dirty war' years. My daughter in laws sister who's argentine by birth and who travelled with us for a couple of weeks was so upset by the exhibits that we had to leave after 20 mins. A very...

My son bought a 1930’s house and when he moved in realised that there was damage to the gully drain that had been allowing drain water in from the shower and sink upstairs, causing damp on the interior of the...
Here's one from the famous (African Inspired) Desfile de Llamadas Carnival in Montevideo over the weekend. Been researching it for months, couldn't get a seat, balcony or photo pass when I arrived and had to stand for hours in the intense heat to secure a spot at the barrier. By the time the...
Don't usually photograph animals but couldn't resist this one. Taken yesterday in Mar del Plata, Argentina. These sea lions come ashore every morning on a fisherman's wharf at the port and bask all day in the sun. The aroma is pungent to say the least.
