Imaging Brazil 252: Red River in Minas Gerais, MG Minas Gerais hosts a wide variety of breathtaking landscapes. The north and west are dominated by dry savanna-like plateaus, while in the south and east a tropical mountain climate predominates. The mountains in the latter regions are intersected by numerous rivers, creeks and streams. One of the largest rivers in the country, the São Francisco River, originates in the mountains of Minas, and flows into the Atlantic Ocean about three thousand kilometers away. In the wet summer time, abundant rain showers could transform the streams and brooks into raging rivers. The withered landscape, caused by a long dry period in winter, changes into a fresh green composition. The reddish brown rising rivers are stained by the iron-rich sand they carry along. During a dry interval, the river appears to be calm, like a mirror, as shown in the picture. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #river #natgeobrasilImaging Brazil 251: Stained Glass Window in Pitangui, MG I was invited to join a big party that was organized to celebrate the 80th birthday of the mother of a befriended colleague. This party, which lasted two days, was held in a countryhouse in Pitangui, a small, historic town in the mountainous region at about 12t km south of Belo Horizonte. I was asked to take pictures, and on the second day I joined a small group to have a city tour through the historic town that was founded more than 300 years ago. One of the highlights was the visit to the church that was visited often by the octagenarian. My eyes caught the colorful stained glass windows. The windows were partly open allowing sunlight to enter the church. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #pitangui #stainedglass #windowTimóteo (MG) – Local cyclist BRAZILIAN SELEXION 845 www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #timoteo #cyclistTimóteo (MG) – Group of statues BRAZILIAN SELEXION 844 www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #timoteoTimóteo (MG) – Burning candles at a sanctuary BRAZILIAN SELEXION 843 www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #timoteo #candle #faith #velas #sanctuaryImaging Brazil 250: Selling Colorful Umbrellas in Olinda, PE Pernambuco has a rich and colorful culture. Both Recife and Olinda are widely known for colorful carnival that attracts millions of visitors. Also well known is the frevo, which has a very interesting history. Late nineteenth century, two military bands participated in carnival parades. These bands were very competitive and tried to outdo each other by playing louder and faster. Some members of these orchestras drove the bystanders apart with capoeira movements and with knives, and soon these rough guys from both orchestras were fighting each other. These fights resulted in many injuries and even deaths. Eventually, the knives were replaced by little, colorful umbrellas, and capoeira movements were further refined to the typical frevo dance. The man in the picture sells the little umbrellas. #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #pernambuco #recife #olinda #beach #historiccenter #worldheritage #unescoworldheritage #umbrella #parasol #sombrinha-
