Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!!



In order to not get apart from my purpose of showing Brazil, I have included a picture of Christmas decoration in the city of Campos, state of Rio de Janeiro, where I live.

As for my New Year’s message, I ask you permission to include an image not taken in Brazil, but one that represents what people all over the world, from all religious backgrounds, desire year after year: PEACE.

This was taken in the USA when the “first” Gulf War took place. It was the only manifestation for peace that I could witness in the city of Clearwater, Florida, at that time, but it has served to remind people that War, for any purpose, is wrong!!!!!

Homesick 1


In order to pay homage to my hometown Sobral, in the State of Ceará, northeastern Brazil, I decided to show some of its attractions.



Sobral is considered part of our National Heritage because of its historical buildings and for housing the third most important sacred art museum in our country.



Let the images speak for themselves!





In order of appearance:

Palace of Languages, Portuguese tiles, Dores' Church, The Pieta (D. José Museum's sacred art piece) and the Culture House.
