Imaging Brazil 277: Countryman in Timóteo, MG (2010)

277: Countryman

In January 2010 I visited friends in Coronel Fabriciano, a medium-sized city of just over one hundred thousand inhabitants, at about two hundred km east of Belo Horizonte. From there, day trips were made to the big city of Ipatinga, and to the neighboring city of Timóteo. On our way a mountain peak was visited, from where the beautiful mountain landscape could be admired. The road passed through the countryside, partly on dirt roads. And there I met this rural, apparently curious about the reason for our visit to ‘his’ terrain.

Imaging Brazil 261: Baby on Sheep Statue in Timóteo, MG (2010)

261: Baby on sheep statue

Churches are found everywhere in Brazil. These are mainly dedicated to the Holy Family and to various saints. Near Timóteo (Minas Gerais), there was a church dedicated to the apparition of Mary in Fatima, Portugal. Near the church was a group of statues on a grassy hilltop. Statues of Mary, the two children who witnessed her appearance, and some sheep. On one of these sheep sat a baby. This baby obviously had a lot of fun with his special toy.
