359: ZOO aquarium
The Zoo in Belo Horizonte, located at Lake Pampulha, attracts many visitors. They admire the gorillas, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, lions, and many more. Since 2010, they also can visit another part that is focused on freshwater marine life, which represent part of the São Francisco River, Brazil’s third largest river. The river, nicknamed ‘Velho Chico (‘Old Frank’)’, originates from a spring in the state of Minas Gerais and ends in the Atlantic Ocean at the border between the states of Alagoas and Sergipe. The river is heavily polluted, and big efforts are made to clean that mess. Gradually, the river becomes indeed cleaner. One of the Zoo aquariums is filled with 450 thousand liters of water, and hosts a number of fish. The fish in the picture is swimming in that giant fish tank, called ‘São Francisco tank’.

316: Tree silhouettes
The Pampulhacampus of the Federal University in Belo Horizonte (UFMG) is particularly large, more than five square kilometers. The faculties, schools and institutes are spread over the green, wooded area. Every day there are about fifty thousand people, equal to the population of a small town, in the campus. Due to the vastness it is sometimes lovely to walk along or through the green areas. Natural forest trails give you the sensation of being in a natural park, far away from the urban noise. In the small forests it is possible to meet small monkeys, or small and medium rodents, or even a large lizard. The picture was made near the main entrance, during a colorful sunset, with the tree branches turning black against a reddish purple sky.

309: Dark clouds over Economics Faculty
From 2005 to 2014, I was regularly found in the campus of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Belo Horizonte. I had my space at the Faculty of Biological Sciences, and I was a frequent visitor of the Faculty of Information Sciences. Since I was invited to join a student travel to Salvador in 2006, I have made many friends there, and have joined various gatherings and parties. I have played numerous matches of Braziliaan pool billiard (sinuca) in the early evening hours. The UFMG campus is really large, it more resembles a little town. Large faculty complexes are spread across the campus, only few faculties – among them the Faculty of Medicine – remain outside this Pampulha Campus. One of the newer faculties is the Economics Faculty as seen on the photo. At that hour, really dark clouds hovered above bright colored complex.

294: Erythrina speciosa tree
Erythrina speciosa, known as the coral tree, is common in southeastern Brazil. These shrubs are popular in the city parks, as I have seen in Parque Municipal in Belo Horizonte. This striking shrub is also located along the banks of Lake Pampulha. In winter, the shrubs lose their leafs while the red flowers bloom. The result is a red-dominated shrub, a beloved spot for hummingbirds. With their tall, slender beak, the hummingbirds manage to extract the sweet nectar, while they hover in the sky.
