Brasilia, DF

The second run for the presidential election in Brazil is taking place today. According to the polls, Lula is going to be reelected for a new mandate of four years. I really hope that he take better care of this fantastic country.



For this reason I am posting some images of Brasilia, considered by UNESCO - World Heritage Center
"... a landmark in the history of town planning. "

Brasilia is, without a question, a piece of art made real from the sketches of Oscar Niemeyer, a master of modern architecture.

Let's dance!!!

Don't you feel like dancing "forró"??!!!

These handcrafted pieces, made of clay by popular artists from Caruaru, PE, portray the happy mood of our people.

The name of this type of dance, I was told, has its origin at the WWII when American soldiers, who had a military base set in the Northeast Brazilian Coast, were invited by the local people to participate in parties that were organized "FOR ALL".

We still celebrate good times dancing, among other rhythms, the good and warm "forró".

Grab your partner and let's have fun!!!!

Where am I?

Before continuing with our journey around Brazil, let me show you, at least in part (the best part), the city where I reside today.



Campos, north of the state of Rio de Janeiro, can be very well represented by its coastal "Farol Beach", as it is called this locality because of the old and interesting lighthouse, which is worth visiting.










By the way, visiting Brazil has a lot to do with being at the beach on a sunny day!

Campinas, SP

I've just arrived from a trip to Campinas, the second largest city in the state of S. Paulo and I want to show what I saw there. It's not much, but it is sufficient to give you a slight idea of what can be found in that city.

I stayed 2 days in a Cadet School for the annual Wizard (a language center) Congress. By the way, I can show you how to learn Portuguese from WIZARD.

The city is so colorful with the yellow and purple flowers that fall from the "Ipê" trees.

This is about Brasil (Portuguese spelling).

My intention is to share information about my country from my own experiences - as a photographer and citizen.

So, if you are interested in finding out more about Brazil, I invite you to join me in this trip.

For now, take a look at this beautiful view captured from my homeland, in the Northeast of Brasil - a state called Ceará.
