The other Sunday I went for a walk at Barrio Hipódromo (La Plata). The weather was really nice and most of the tracks are unused.

I started from the roof of Estación La Plata (Ferrocarril General Roca) and headed North.

I saw a dead horse at the door of one of the studs:

I drifted for a while and then started to walk along the tracks of the Tren Universitario (it isn’t running on Sundays).

Found an interesting chunk of iron

Then a signaling tower and set up to climb it

It isn’t as tall as others but the tensioning wires are not taut and it swings like mad with the wind. The view from the top is really nice:

 

Some plants and cactuses. The blackberries  aren’t as ripe as the ones found within the street but their taste was way sweeter.

This is near Departamento de Electromecánica at Facultad de Ingeniería. I really like how the rails blend with the grass.

Another tower. This one looked way more dangerous than what I was willing to do that day.

Back again to the starting point

It was a short walk a tad more than 5km.
