378: Water reflection
Although Guarapari is located in the state of Espíritio Santo, and the famous beaches of Rio de Janeiro are closer to the city of Belo Horizonte, many belohorizontinos (inhabitants of the city of Belo Horizonte) and mineiros (inhabitants of the state of Minas Gerais) prefer to spend their holidays at the beaches in Guarapari. No wonder that many hotels, hostels, restaurants, and stores are focused on tourists from Minas Gerais. For the mineiros, it is as if they are at home, AND on the beach. When I was in Guarapari, I met many mineiros there. Late in the afternoon, at the time of sunset, most of them had already gone to their hotels, the beach looked deserted. The thin water film on the beach served as a natural mirror, in which the buildings that flanking the beach are reflected on the beach.

373: Upright marlin statue
When you are at Morro Beach in Guarapari, you can hardly miss the giant statue of an upright blue marlin. This statue, created by Italian artist Juliano Filippi in 1998, commerorates the catch of the biggest blue marlin in Guarapari in 1992. The lucky fisherman was Paulo Armorim, who needed the help of 28 people to have the 636 kg and 4,62 m long blue marlin out of the water. He gained much fame worldwide, and had many people arriving to fish with him. Paulo died after a road accident in 2006. The marlin statue is a bit taller than the fish itself, about eight meters.

362: Bike park
Not only the Dutch, but also the Brazilians love to cycle. It is a cheap means of transport, it doesn’t pollute the enviroment, it might economize in transportation spendings and in transportation time, and it is very good for your health to cycle. No wonder that the bicycle is gaining popularity in the immense country. However, there are certain locations where it is hard to cycle around. Like the mountainous historic cities of Ouro Preto, Mariana, Diamantina, or even Belo Horizonte. In contrast, along the many beaches in Brazil, you will notice many people cycling, and they are not only foreign tourists. And they need to park their bike too. In Guarapari, they will meet a bike park like this one in the photo.

353: Reflections
In October 2012, I was invited to give a lecture about my PhD research at a private university in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, a small city in the state of Espírito Santo. It already had given this lecture in Dutch and in English, but it was new for me to give it in Portuguese, which was quite hard for me. Since I had taken a few days off at the language school I was teaching, I took the opportunity to have a short stay in a very popular beach resort: Guarapari. I took a cheap hotel in Nova Guarapari, and took a bus to nearby Guarapari, where the hotels and hostels are far more expensive. I spent the entire day along the beautiful beaches, took some refreshing açai and ate a delicious pizza. When the sun as about to set, I was at Morro Beach. At low tide, the tall buildings that line the beach were reflected on the wet beach. That gave me much inspiration for a large series of photographs.

313: Cactus plants at Morro da Pescaria
Guarapari is a popular beach resort in the state of Espirito Santo, at a distance of about fifty kilometers south of the capital Vitória. Especially among the mineiros (inhabitants of the neighboring state of Minas Gerais) Guarapari is very populair. Guarapari boasts some beautiful beaches, of which Praia dos Namorados and Praia do Morro are the most famous. Not far from Praia do Morro is a natural park, which is currently managed by the municipality. For a small fee, the visitor can follow a path of little more than one kilometer to a beach surrounded by natural vegetation, Praia do Ermitão. From this beach it is even possible to swim to Ilha da Raposa (‘Fox Island’). The park hosts original Atlantic Forest type and the so-called restinga type vegetations. The cactus plants on the photograph were located on one of the rocky slopes.

238: Telephone booth
When you’re somewhere on vacation, and you have no opportunity to keep in touch with the home front by means of your mobile, a public telephone is an outcome. Nowadays, these payphones disappear gradually from the streets, but in Brazil they are found on almost every street corner. These booths are not entirely closed, as in the UK or the Netherlands, but they only provide some privacy and protection from sun or rain. Most phones in Brazil are painted in light blue or purple. However, in some states you will find other colors, such as green booths in Curitiba. In some tourist towns you will find pay phones that are inspired upon the tourist attractions in that town. As Guarapari, where I found this phone in the form of a huge shell.
