The iconic 1949 film "The Third Man" plays in a bombed post war Vienna.
After the confrontation in the Prater ferris wheel the showdown takes place in the sewers of the town.

One day I'd like to take a guided tour of the Viennese sewers, in this montage a photo of the old Elbtunnel had to stand in;-)

Puente Transbordador Nicolás Avellaneda, seen here from La Boca, spans Rio Riachuelo in Buenos Aires. Directly behind is the newer road bridge Nicolás Avellaneda, opened in 1940. The transporter bridge was opened in 1914 and stayed in operation until the 1960s. In 1999 it was declared a Monumento Histórico Nacional.

After the crash 2001 more Porteños than before were reduced to poverty. To survive many started collecting paper in the more affluent parts of the city. Now they are organized in cooperatives, coming into the city at night, collecting all sort of reusable rubbish.
