Jose Fabian at the very top - Palacio Barolo

A building inspired to preserve the remains of the famous Italian poet Dante Aligheri. But this is the top floor where the light house is.

Biologist surfer

Just chilling at a beach in Hawaii - yeah Karl!

Susan and Steve

My best budy since 6th grade, finally reunited after over 30 years!

Best friends

Yeap, real heads, all of them....
Great Christmas that year in Utah.

Jenny in Utah

Typical Florida girl almost froze to death this night. She has no idea how cold real cold could be...

Thomas on duty

My youngest during a tour in Iraq. He's back as a civilian, bum shouder, but great head.

Red Folds

The micro cosmos deep inside this flower.

Full bloom

This was a great click of my 'one-and-only' jabuticaba tree in full bloom. The fragrance lasts only a few days, but it's unforgetable.

Early morning bee

One fine thing about busy bees is that they'll leave you alone if you don't bother them. This one was very busy with some blooms in my jabuticaba tree.

Still-life in Paraty

Window-shopping at night in Paraty offers many clicks to an eager camera.

Street corner and dog

Paraty is unique as it maintains its cobble-stoned streets and blends it all with old structures, shops and even friendly dogs.

Agua de Côco??

Esta figura não sabia se eu queria agua de côco ou apenas uma foto dele - no final chegamos a um acordo, 2 aguas de côco e uma foto...

Walking picture

Pelas ruas de Paraty, de repente um quadro andando...

Coquito

Amiga amada, maniha querida. Esta foto foi tirada por Igor durante um passeio pelo interior de Santa Catarina.
Embora ela não se ache 'tudo isso', eu acho ela bela que te quero bela!!

Lençois Maranhenses

An air view during a visit to Lençois Maranhenses National Park, northeasten Brasil. The laggons in the desert are sweeping-like dunes, though it isn't actually a desert. The fresh water is collected in the valleys between the dunes during the rain season.

Offering

Sightseeing with some friends, interior of SP, I came across this offering someone left near the rushing waters.

Nino Old Friend

Nino - o fiel companheiro da minha querida amiga Nilza. Sempre alerto, embora cego, problemas de pele e bem velho.
Sua elegância era incontestável e nesta foto ele é o próprio Nino vitoriano. Que descanse em paz, seja onde for...
Nudist beaches can be a real eyesore! Rather than looking sideways, just look down...

Self portrait against stained-glass window

An accidental plus...

Statues in Buenos Aires

If you have the right person to guide your sightseeing, as I did (Jose Fabian), then it's really worth your while walking and visiting common places throughout BA.

Buenos Aires street fair

Here we have a mix of 'anything goes'
If I had the luggage space and the money, there's no telling what I might have bought!!

Street artist in Buenos Aires

Great street artists in BA, and this one was hillarious.

Art for all in Buenos Aires

Creative outdoors exhibition

Here's looking at you kid

Cachorro de olho nos turistas...

Flying Shark

Museum do Mar em Cananeia

Small Island

Idilico? Pena que esta pequena ilha é cercada do lixo dos moradores!

Young man on boat

The boat ride is long enough to allow being mellow...

Come aboard

Typical charter boat rides - though the one we rode in was better yet as crowded as most...

Sow Ride to Ilha do Cardoso

View from boat - a typical summer day in the region of Cananeia.

Big Fish

Museum do Mar em Cananeia

Lana, Jasmin and Jesus

As embarcações 'quase' sempre tem nomes femininos...

Cook in view

O que lembramos deste lugar tão original é de que o dono é versátil - vende objetos antigos e é o chef. Olhe dentro da janela central...

Duck in Pond

This duck is as spoiled as any domesticated pet. He lives at the inn we stayed at in Cananeia.

Flagrantes num dia de pescaria

Para muitos, exceto para os peixes, pescar é sinônimo de calmaria. Nesta imagem a paz e tranquilidade das águas e contraposto com o movimento das nuvens.

Meu jardim

Nestes meses tão secos - regar - regar e regar.

Ipê Branco na calçada


O meu filho Karl - o biólogo - cuidou das sementes num potinho e mais tarde as mudas foram plantadas no solo. Hoje esta arvore já dá flores na época certa.
