It has been a few weeks since I did some KAP and this morning in Buenos Aires the light, the wind and the temperature were ideal. I started with the Floralis Generica with lots of space to fly and test the new GoPro 2. And I walked to the exclusive Recoleta neighbourhood as I always wanted to KAP the Cemetery. The challenge is that the Cemetary is in the middle of the city and space to get airborne is very limited with a few tall trees... I first had a coffe at the "Biela cafe" checked the map, discussed with the hostess at Recoleta tourist office and Karina was really nice as we went together to ask a municipal police officer, if it would be OK to fly a kite and take some pictures.... " Sí no hay problema"... Well no problem for the police but trying to get the Dan Leigh R8 Delta high enough to catch some clean wind above the turbulences , and slaloming between trees required either to be crazy or over confident...(probably both!) Everything went well though and this solo session was really high in adrenaline...
Thanks again Karina, you made my day!
=================
Floralis Genérica is a sculpture made of steel and aluminum located in Plaza de las Naciones Unidas, Avenida Figueroa Alcorta, Buenos Aires, a gift to the city by the Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano. Catalano once said that the flower "is a synthesis of all the flowers and is both a hope that is reborn every day to open." It was created in 2002. The sculpture moves closing its petals in the evening and opening them in the morning.
The sculpture is located in the center of a park of four acres of wooded boundaries, surrounded by paths that get closer and provide different perspectives of the monument, and placed above a reflecting pool, which apart from fulfilling its aesthetic function, protects it. It represents a large flower made of stainless steel with aluminum skeleton and reinforced concrete, which looks at the sky, extending to it its six petals. Weighs eighteen tons and is 23 meters high.
According to Eduardo Catalano, the author, Floralis "means belonging to the flora and therefore the flowers", and Genérica "from the concept of "gender" and indicates that it represents all the flowers in the world".
