Imaging Brazil 317: Lizard on the Wall in Belo Horizonte, MG (2011)

317: Lizard on the wall

In a tropical country like Brazil, you regularly encounter cold-blooded animals in your home. Frogs and toads accidentally jump over your threshold, while geckos and little lizards hunt down the walls for insects in your living room. They are therefore useful animals, although not everyone is happy with their presence; many are even afraid of them. At least it’s a little shock to find such a reptile on an inner wall. Most Brazilians leave them in peace; the reptiles go away spontaneously, searching for their prey, possibly in another house.

COLORFUL BRAZIL. Eyetest: Find the Lizard (Belo Horizonte, MG)

Eyetest: Find the Lizard. In BELO HORIZONTE (MG)

Downtown Belo Horizonte, a few weeks before Christmas. Many people wander around for their Christmas shopping. They carry a large number of bags, printed in bright colors and designs. It is impossible not to see the brand names and logos that are screaming for attention.
On a pavement in downtown Belo Horizonte, not far from the crowded stores and warehouses, a lizard tried to survive. He moved on the pavement, thereby making itself almost invisible. I almost had hit its long tail. He ran away, seeking shelter at safer places.

The original picture was taken in December 2011
