Imaging Brazil 288: Dragonfly on a Leaf in Belo Horizonte, MG (2010)

A personal selection of photographs with their stories.

288: Dragonfly

Dragonflies are common in Brazil. I have often found them along the waterfront of a natural pond  where they exert their graceful dancing along the shore and across the water surface. However, I photographed this dragonfly in the Botanical Garden in Belo Horizonte. At small pond, which contained a variety of water plants,  I counted a handful of different types of dragonflies. Dragonflies in different colors and sizes. The warm sun shone almost perpendicular to this slender dragonfly,  leaving a sharp shadow on a lush green leaf .

Imaging Brazil 285: Gorilla Relaxing in Belo Horizonte, MG (2010)

A personal selection of photographs with their stories.

285: Gorilla Idi Amin

Undoubtedly, the gorilla was one of the principal attractions in Belo Horizonte’s Zoo. This huge gorilla, named Idi Amin, came from France in 1975. At that time he was accompanied by a female gorilla, but when she and her successor had died, Idi lived for only 27 years in his mini jungle. In 2011, at the age of 38, he received a company of two females, but he died in the following year. Not much later, the jungle was populated by three other gorillas and even a gorilla was born.
