Montevideo began as a minor settlement. In 1860, Montevideo had a population of 37,787. By 1884, the population had grown to 104,472, including many immigrants.

During the mid-20th century, military dictatorship and economic stagnation caused a decline whose residual effects are still seen today. Many rural poor flooded the city, with a large concentration in Ciudad Vieja.

Recently, economic recovery and stronger trade ties with Uruguay's neighbours have led to renewed agricultural development and hopes for greater future prosperity.

The current population estimates for Montevideo are 1,349,000 habitants in the city proper and 1,814,400 habitants in the greater metropolitian region.


Montevideo's population makes up roughly 44% of the entire country of Uruguay. The surrounding province of Canelones, essentially Montevideo's suburbs and direct rural area, makes up another 12%.

was für eine beeindruckende skyline, sky! :-)
und ein toller blick den steinernen wellenbrecher entlang, der sogar im hintergrund als strasse noch viel tiefer in die city führt.
eine technische sache, die mir aufgefallen ist:
warum 1/1250 und f/4? wenn vielleicht 1/500 und f/8 mit evtl. besserer tiefenschärfe auch möglich gewesen wäre?
mich wundert es halt nur, dass man auf den treksites öfters sieht, dass häuser mit 1/1000 oder schneller photographiert werden -
da bewegt sich sicher nicht viel und 1/200 oder weniger reicht völlig aus.
egal, tolles photo vom anderen ende der welt!
danke & viele grüße, thor (der in 2 stunden für 3 tage nach belgien fährt).

(see you on TL in May)

Hallo Sky,
durch die sehr kurze Belichtungszeit hat das Meer eine sehr rauhe Oberfläche bekommen, die sehr gut zu der gesamten Stimmung in dem Bild paßt.
Jetzt hast Du so viele schöne Bilder von Uruguay zeigt, jetzt ist das Land auf meiner WUnschlsite ziemlich weit nach oben gerückt.
Viele Grüße
Achim

Hi Sky,
Nice work once again. Excellent POV, nice colours. The picture of the waterfront and the harbour looks gorgeous with all the bright colours combining so well.

Hallo Sky
What a stunning and surrealistic view!
As if the city is overcrowded and people must go out on pier for freah air!
Outstanding point of view.
