EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Obelisk monument in Buenos Aires, Argentina's vibrant capital city. Erected in 1936 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the city's founding, the Obelisk stands proudly in the heart of the city, serving as a symbol of Argentine history and culture. The monument's distinctive shape, inspired by ancient Egyptian obelisks, towers over the urban landscape, drawing the eye of both locals and visitors alike. Buenos Aires, meaning "fair winds" in Spanish, has a rich and complex history. Founded in 1536 by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Mendoza, the city was later abandoned and re-established in 1580 by Juan de Garay. Over the centuries, Buenos Aires grew to become a major cultural and economic center in South America. The Obelisk, located in the Plaza de la Republica, has become a beloved landmark and a symbol of the city's resilience and progress. Surrounded by bustling streets and historic buildings, it stands as a testament to the city's rich past and its continued importance as a hub of Argentine life. This photograph, part of a fold-out set, captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of the Obelisk in Buenos Aires. With its striking composition and atmospheric black and white tones, it invites viewers to explore the history and charm of this remarkable city.
