Buenos Aires waterfront

We explored part of BA's waterfront the first day we were in the city.  The upscale district of Puerto Madero is right on the coast.  There are modern tall apartment buildings with high end shopping on the street level.  There are four dock areas with large yachts and moter craft.  Each one is separated by a traffic bridge that rotates sideways to let boats out to the ocean. (We did not get to see any move, sadly). 
This is looking up into the district and the first of four bridges.

The car ramp for the ferry terminal (viewed as we pulled away from the dock).

Lighthoust and Yacht club.
Sea side view of light house. (Tall coroporate building in background).

Behind the yacht docks and fancy apartments is a nature preserve (viewed here just beyond the jetty).  The jetty was a fishing jetty.
Clearly there are more commerical port facilities in the other direction from the ferry port (big cranes in the distance).  It is interesting to note that the power plant directly adjourns the nature preserve.
