Abandoned Boat, Ushuaia, Argentina
Made by Thad Roan - Bridgepix
HDR image reprocessed from a photo taken in January, 2008, Ushuaia, Argentina. Ushuaia is the capital of the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego, and claims to be the world's southernmost city. It is located on the southern coast of the island of Tierra del Fuego in a wide bay, guarded on the north by the Martial mountain range and on the south by the Beagle Channel. Its population in 1999 was estimated at 57,300. The city was originally named by early British colonists after the name that the native Yámana people had for the area. Much of the early history of the city and its hinterland is described in great detail in Lucas Bridges’s book Uttermost Part of the Earth (1948). For most of the first half of the 20th century, the city was centered around a prison for serious criminals. The Argentine government set up this prison following the example of the British with Australia or the French with Devil's Island: escape from a prison on Tierra del Fuego was similarly impossible. The prisoners thus became forced colonists and spent much of their time cutting wood in the forest around the prison and building the town. They also built a railway to the settlement, now a tourist attraction known as the End of the World Train (Tren del Fin del Mundo), the southernmost railway in the world. Ushuaia is surrounded by Magellanic subpolar forests; on the hills around the town we can find indigenous trees of the area: Drimys winteri (Winter's bark), Maytenus magellanica (hard log mayten) and several species of Nothofagus that give to the landscape a magnificent greenness.

Mother Iceberg Sculpture
Made by Elaine Marie Parker
Along the waterfront in Ushuaia there were some unique sculptures. This one didn’t have a title that I could find so I called it “mother iceberg” which seemed fitting for the theme and the location. It was all white and rather chunky. It was a family connected to one another with the obvious female at the head, and there were sculpted holes all through it – can’t think of anything else to title it myself. It was actually a neater sculpture than the photo looks – I just couldn’t capture its multi-dimensions. It was also quite large – if I could have climbed on it you would see that it is about two times people size. It is located in the plaza in honor of DON BOSCO and was made by Father Joseph Ellero in collaboration with the teacher Pilello.


La Isla de la Buena Memoria

Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. La Isla de la Buena Memoria Madre me voy a la Isla no se contra quien pelear tal vez luche, me resista o tal vez me muera alla Que haro con el uniformo cuando empiecen a pelear con el casco y con las botas ni siquiera se marchar Desde que llegue a la Isla no tengo con quien hablar somos miles los unidos por la misma soledad Ya se escuchan los disparos entre muerto y libertad cae mi cuerpo agujereado ya no podre cantar mas Creo que hace mucho frio por aca Muy mus miedos como el mio en la cuidad No hay mal que no tenga nombre No hay un Dios a quien orar No hay hermanos ni soldados Ya no hay jueces ni jurados Solo hay una guerra mas Y cada vez hay monos paz ...


Ushuaia
Made by maxtdf
Cuando el primer hombre blanco arribó a esta zona, halló aquí nativos que se afincaban en la zona de la bellísima bahía protegida contra los vientos , y rodeados por el marco de las montañas. Este lugar era llamado por ellos Ooshooia o Ouchouaya. La primeras personas que tuvieron contacto con los nativos fueron los ingleses y los misioneros, de aquí que la primera pronunciación fue Ushuuaia. Finalmente, el nombre tornó en Ushuaia, tanto para la bahía, como para la ciudad que luego se transformaría en la mas autral del mundo. ¿Cuál es el significado de la palabra en idioma Yamana?, simplemente Bahía que penetra hacia el poniente

Saint Christopher
Made by maxtdf
El remolcador gris Saint Christopher fue traído a Ushuaia para reflotar al Monte Cervantes y terminó quedando para siempre. Este remolcador, fabricado en 1942, en Estados Unidos, durante el desarrollo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, fue llevado a Ushuaia en 1953 para reflotar a un barco de turismo hundido en 1930 bajo las aguas del canal Beagle. Tras fracasar en sus maniobras, el buque intentó regresar a Buenos Aires, pero rompió el timón a pocas millas de Ushuaia, regresó al puerto y quedó varado para siempre.

Ushuaia in the early morning
Made by mgsbird
La manana en Ushuaia - muy tranquilo y encantadora. On this, my very first visit to Ushuaia, I was greeted by a glassy calm view of this delightful port. The Olympus C700UZ was an early compact point and shoot digital camera with a 12x optical zoom. Quite a fantastic camera at the time. The shutter delay when trying to take pics of flying birds was a bit annoying, but it did nice landscapes. Photo #26
