It was a nice surprise to come across in the past days with a post from the Center of Photography in Uruguay (Centro de Fotografía) which announced a new exhibit in the capital of Uruguay of a series of photographs that show many aspects of what Uruguay is through a well elaborated project was developed as part of a national initiative called "Paisaje Uruguay" (Uruguay´s Landscape). The photographs are great, as a testimony but also as a way of portray the country in other ways are not the typical "Uruguay for Export" type of images we are used to.

If you live on this side of the Equator, please take a look on the link below where you can see that Uruguay is more than Punta del Este, cannibal soccer players or legal marihuana. If you live down there and can make it to the exhibit, take a time to enjoy Uruguay in a different way.
