Cruise ship time-marking
A new towel critter appear nightly on the bed with chocolates.
If that’s not specific enough, open an elevator door.
Things you would NEVER see in Uruguay
Still there after five days, Prescott Valley, Arizona. In a relatively poor neighborhood.
A small child’s bike, apparently fully functional, left by the trash container.
A large-screen CRT TV, with remote, apparently fully functional, left out for anyone who wants it.
Exquisitely dreary, Arizona
Prescott, Arizona.
Flags. Big flags.
One house. Five trucks. One light inside; no other evidence of human activity.

Seals
Harbor seals and pups on ice floes near Punta del Este, Uruguay, far up Treinte y Tres Fjord, where they are protected from their natural enemies the Orca whales. The young still can fall prey to bald eagles, though.
Glacier

Here is a somewhat distant view of Artigas Glacier, at the head of Triente y Tres Fjord, one of Uruguay’s often-overlooked natural wonders.
