The Riviera

5 PHOTOGRAPHS
In La Riviera, with just a handful of neighbors and the murmur of the stream as the only witness, time seems to have stopped to protect the calm of the land. Photographing this corner is an exercise in patience and respect; It is to capture that suspended peace where the landscape speaks without interruptions and the immensity of the horizon finally becomes a mirror of our own silence.

The Lifeguard Shack

During the winter months, it falls into disuse. Everything useful it was during the brief summer contrasts with the abandonment it now presents. Strong and upright, it faces the inclement weather, patiently awaiting the arrival of the next summer season. Meanwhile, the calm, breeze and tranquility of the place create a serene cradle for your quiet days. Photo taken in La Riviera, Rocha, Uruguay

The Long Wait

There they wait, waiting for another morning, another fishing trip, another day. Their purpose has always been to help man conquer water, but they face long days of stillness. Meanwhile, a casual photographer immortalizes them, capturing that moment of calm before they return to fulfill their mission. Photo taken in La Riviera, Rocha, Uruguay

Ever Watchful

There he is, in the tallest tree in the place, with his gaze fixed on everything that moves. His tenacious attitude, like that of a tireless guardian, speaks for itself. It lives in an environment where activity is scarce, without a doubt the perfect place for a quiet and long-lasting life. Photo taken in La Riviera, Rocha, Uruguay

Protagonists of a Long Winter

The cold, rain and cloudy days form the environment that they must endure for several months of the year. Its long branches, devoid of foliage, do nothing but show the evidence of those hard days. But soon, summer will bring its light and heat again, returning life to every corner, dressing those branches again with green leaves that dance to the rhythm of the warm breeze.

Reflection in the Lagoon

On the calm surface of the lagoon, the tree doubles, as if nature created its own mirror. Each branch and leaf seems to merge with the water, drawing an almost perfect reflection that is only distorted by the slight movement of the breeze. The tree, firm on the shore, and its inverted image underwater, seem to share the same sigh, immortalizing a moment in which the real and the imagined meet. Photo taken in La Riviera, Rocha, Uruguay
