Imaging Brazil 308: Fishing Boat on Land in Vila Velha, ES I was invited for a guest lecture at a private university in the state of Espírito Santo. It was in the city of Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, in the state countryside. After this lecture, which I had to give in Portuguese about my PhD thesis, I continued my travel to Guarapari, where I stayed for some days. From there, I visited Vila Velha and neighboring Vitória. The Baia (bay) de Vitória splits Vila Velha from the Ilha (island) de Vitória. On the picture is the skyline of Vitória visible, on the horizon. In front is a fishing boat on land, probably for maintenance. It was a very sunny day, there was only one tiny white cloud in the blue sky. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #natgeobrasil #natgeo #espiritosanto #vilavelha #boat #shorelineImaging Brazil 306: Pine Tree Branch in Belo Horizonte, MG Undoubtedly, you’ll find pine trees in the cold climates of North America, Northern Europe and North Asia. In temperate climates – including the Netherlands – you meet mixed forests of broadleaf trees and conifers. It is difficult to imagine that pine trees can also be found in tropical regions. Particularly in southern Brazil, where the winters are somewhat cold, you regularly find pine trees. The Brazilian pine, the araucaria, is the national tree of the state of Paraná. However, this tree species belongs to the conifer family. In the cold mountainous areas of Minas Gerais, many coniferous trees are found, especially at high altitudes. The pine tree in the picture is located near the Mangabeiras City Park. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #natgeobrasil #natgeo #pinetree #belohorizonteImaging Brazil 307: Terrace in Historic Diamantina, MG The historic center of Diamantina has been well preserved. Since 1999, the cozy center is added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Every year, around one hundred and fifty thousand tourists come to Diamantina; not only for the historical architecture, but also for the music. The Seresta is a Brazilian music style, based on the ancient serenade. There are regular seresta nights with a selection of musicians and their orchestras. The city center is then completely occupied by music lovers. On quiet weekdays, you can walk through the center, and watch a bar owner preparing the terrace tables and chairs for his customers. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #diamantina #historiccenter #worldheritage #unescoworldheritage #terraceImaging Brazil 305: Bus Mirror in Minas Gerais, MG Between 2006 and 2011, I made a number of long bus trips with various groups of university students. These students attended annual meetings, spread across the immense country. Especially the coastal cities in the northeast were very popular for these meetings. The students attended workshops, presentations and discussions, and in the evening they participated in various parties and music programs. I didn’t have to attend these meetings, but I gratefully took advantage of their invitation to get to know the country better. My final bus trip with these students was in November 2011: a meeting in Campo Grande, capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, near the border with Bolivia. A journey that lasted over seventeen hours. The picture shows a side mirror of our bus. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #mirror #bus #cloudsImaging Brazil 304: Hotel in Diamantina, MG Diamantina is a mining town at about three hundred kilometers northeast of Belo Horizonte. The city, located in the scenic Jequitinhonha Valley, has a long history of diamond mining. The earth’s riches were transported via ‘Estrada Real’ (Royal Road) to the ports of Paraty or Rio de Janeiro, from where it was shipped to Europe. Nowadays, the town attracts many tourists thanks to its well-preserved historic center, and thanks to cultural events. The Tijuco Hotel was designed by the well-known architect Oscar Niemeyer in the middle of the last century. The hotel is now a National Historical Monument in the city, which has been included on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1999. www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #diamantina #historic #natgeobrasil #natgeo #unescoworldheritage #worldheritage #niemeyer #hoteltijucoBelo Horizonte (MG) – White lily in detail BRAZILIAN SELEXION 907 www.adrianoantoine.wordpress.com #adrianoantoine #brazil #photography #fotografie #fotografia #brasil #travel #viagens #reizen #canon #minasgerais #natgeobrasil #natgeo #flower #white #abstract #lily #belohorizonte-
