Great pic, the clarity is fantastic. I see a coupla T's in the center there...not sure of the one behind the '25 Tudor, but interesting that after 11 years someone is still running them!!

Re: A day at the beach - Playa Verde, Montevideo
If the photo is taken from where I think it is, then the image is likely flipped horizontally. The numbers (top right/left depending) tend to confirm this.
Cool photo either way, you can spend quite a lot of time looking at it and notice all sorts of different things...

It's not reversed. Someone has just written on the back of the negative.
This is Punta Gorda not Piriápolis.
If you click on "Descargar foto en alta resolución" at the link you can download a high resolution scan. There's a lot of great detail in the shot.

Brass car owner most likely

Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

Re: A day at the beach - Playa Verde, Montevideo
Hey! I myself have worn a suit and tie to the beach on club tours!
But, then, I was a "nerd" before it became popular. I was probably the only kid in my high school that preferred Bach to the Beach Boys.
