282: Countryside
The state of Pernambuco has a very varied landscape. Arid areas are alternated by rolling fresh-grown sugarcane fields, and palm plantations in the coastal region. When I was on my way from Belo Horizonte to João Pessoa, the capital of the neighboring state of Paraíba, Pernambuco was crossed. The drought had left its traces in the landscape: dry grasslands, with scattered groups of palm trees that are more resistant to drought. Two men rode on their cart through the sun-burnt landscape.

JULY 2005: Man and horse
We now stay in the country side. Grass was green at the margins of Lagoa (Lake) Pampulha, while grass is withered only a few meters away from the margins. In July, the drought period – starting in May and finishing in October – takes its toll. Horses love fresh, green grass, and their owners are aware of that. But the horses have to work for that. They need to carry heavy loads, pull the cart, in which the owner carries various kinds of freight. Besides, Belo Horizonte is far from flat. The horses have to climb steep hills, anywhere in the city. Their reward: spending some time grazing green grass, in the warm sun, late in the afternoon.
