020. Coots

JULY 2005: Coots

The artificial lake of Pampulha, built in the forties of the last century, is one of the major tourist attractions in Belo Horizonte. Within a stone’s throw are the Mineirão football stadium and the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Several elements of the so-called Architectonic Complex of Pampulha are located at the margins of the lake. This complex, designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer, includes a church, a tennis center, a ballroom, and a casino that was later converted into a museum for contemporary arts. You’ll also find the zoo and the botanical garden, but to see the animals living in freedom, you only need to walk along the eighteen kilometer long margin of the lake. You may then observe many water birds: herons, cormorants, and coots, as shown in the picture.

168. Observing waterbirds 

FEBRUARY 2008: Observing waterbirds

The artificial Pampulha Lake in Belo Horizonte is one of the main tourist attractions in Belo Horizonte. Not only thanks to the architectural complex after the design by architect Oscar Niemeyer, but also thanks to its natural beauty. You’ll find a respectable number of plant species and various animal species. The lake with its jagged shape attracts thousands of birds. From small birds that fit in your hand to large birds of prey which you prefer to keep at a safe distance. In this picture, they appear to ignore each other’s presence. They also seem to ignore the presence of the man in the red shirt. And in turn, this man was not aware of my presence while I took this picture.
