The High Line, New York, Jul 11



Cities have grown and traffic became trouble; so people thought it was a good idea to elevate traffic. Guess what: those neighboors that leave in buildings right next to the elevated highways did not like the idea very much. So elevated highways ruined regions and more regions.

New York has found a great solution and I really hope Sao Paulo follows it for our beloved "Minhocao": The High Line. Definitely worth a visit on a lazy sunday afternoon on summer.

Millenium Park, Chicago, Jun 11


I always loved Chicago, even during its long and painful winter, but there is a special joy of Chicago in the summer. People value the good and warm weather much more, and there are eager to be outside, and a free concert at the beautiful Jay Pritzker Pavilion is just a wonderful opportunity.

Inle Lake, Burma, Mar 11


Fishermen in Inle Lake (Burma) have this unique way of rowing with their legs, that allow them to see better their way around a lake full of plants and other vegetation that makes their work a little trickier.

Morningside Heights, New York, Jul 11


Morningside Heights, my new neighborhood for summer, in a beautiful end of the day. Cloudy white balance is great way to get warm colors, especially in the beginning and the end of the day.

Change of policy!

I have tried several times to increase the postings; as you can see by the time elapsed between posts all trials were unsuccessful. I realized that the problem is that usually it took me too long to write the text and that meant that every post was a long activity, improbable to be as frequent as it is suppose to be.

But what I like to share are pictures, not my rambling about them. So I am beginning a new policy: no more than 5 lines about the picture and no more than a week between them (except for vacation time). If I can’t live by these new rules I will probably give up on this. Let’s see!
