The huge toxic car cemetery in Quilmes, Argentina:
(Click in the pics to see in Street View)
Old police cars:
Here you can see satellite images of the site through the years (2013 is the year of the images above, apparently, the point of greatest density of scrap):
I have read a lot about Adolf Eichmann the german refugee and former SS-lieutenant who lived in this area, I didnt know that it was called Quilmes though.
Adolf Eichmann lived on 14 Garibaldi street, which is only a few blocks away from that wrecking yard. Now that adress should be 6061 Garibaldi street, but I cant find it on street view. His house is demolished, but where exactly is that address? I have read that its a rough neighbourhood and that Eichmann worked in a Mercedes Benz truck plant, where was that at, is it also gone?
He lived on Garibaldi street, but in San Fernando city. Quilmes has a lot of Germans and their descendants, but I don't know anyone who has been involved with the Nazis. What I do know is the existence of a Nazi newspaper in the city of Bernal, within the Quilmes District.
^^ Sadly, that often happens in Argentina.
I took this picture minutes after two thieves stole the wheel. It turns out I was walking when I approached the Picasso and saw how two gray-haired men took off the wheel in seconds. When they saw me, the one holding the car dropped it very badly and the other put the wheel in their car (a red Ford Taunus). I kept walking forward, avoiding looking at them. They fled quickly and for fear of reprisals if they saw me, I didn't dare to take a picture of their car.
Here's the Picasso:
You can see the footprints and scattered water because the Taunus was on the sidewalk.
PS: Sorry for my English. There are words I don't know how to translate :tongue2:.
