Blue lilies in Pampulha, BELO HORIZONTE (MG)
Lagoa (Lake) da Pampulha is an artificial lake, which is located north of the center of Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais. Along the lake, there are a number of buildings that were designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer. For example, the little São Francisco Church, the Cassino (now a Modern Arts museum), Casa do Baile (now an exhibition center). The perimeter of the lake is more than eighteen kilometers long. The local Zoo, Botanical Garden, and an Ecological Garden are located along this lake. Nature is not restricted to these gardens, but is abundantly found along the margin of the lake. Wild flowers and trees, and some that have been planted. Like these blue lilies. They are not only attractive to our eyes, but also for the busy bees…
