‘Self-Reflection’. Belo Horizonte (MG)

BELO HORIZONTE (MG)

It was on a sunny winterday at Lake Pampulha in Belo Horizonte. On a Sunday afternoon, I made a walk along this artificial lake. I did not complete the entire lake, since its perimeter measures more than 18 km. But I have to inform you that I already have completed this distance four times, and have taken photographs of every 100 meter.
I halted at Casa do Baile, visited the temporary exhibition in there, and then visited the nearby tourist information center. The building was rather new then, the personnel was not really prepared to their new tasks, at that time. But I managed to obtain a new, monthly, brochure of the city, with the new activities of that month.
Next to the center, I encountered a motor cycle. I am not really fond of motor cycles, but the way this vehicle was parked drew my attention. The wooden floor, the calm water of the lake. The somewhat dirty mirror showing the sunny moment of that day: a clear blue sky. And fragments of some roof tiles.
I really liked this composition: the solid floor, the liquid flexibility of the water in the lake, the limitlessness of the blue sky, and the shelter of the roof tiles, reflected by the rearview mirror. It was as if I was observing myself in that.
