Buenos Aires, Jul 27 (EFE).- At first glance, there’s nothing special about Belgrano Avenue in the Buenos Aires municipality of Banfield, but after a while one notices peculiar behavior among the passersby: they walk along quickly, they enter and leave the stores, but all of them, at one point or another, raise their eyes to look up and smile.
The reasons for this spontaneous happiness are two huge murals in the hyperrealist style. The larger of them – 65 meters (213 feet) high – shows a little girl from the back standing on tiptoes to build a wall with Lego pieces, while the smaller one, at 30 meters, presents a little boy of about the same age who is blowing on a balloon.

DEL RIO Struggling to escape the Rio Grande’s grasping current, Ernesto Parra collapsed onto the refuse-choked Texas shore.
“I was very afraid, especially for the little ones,” Parra, 55, said moments after he waded across the river from Mexico with his wife, Mariana, their 11-year-old son and two dozen other migrants.
