Untouched Nature in Goiás, Brazil.
Weekly Photo Challenge: The World Through My Eyes

Weekly Photo Challenge: Curves
Yesterday I went to a football/soccer game of the Confederations Cup in my hometown in Brazil. This is sort of dress rehearsal for the 2014 World Cup, which will also be hosted by Brazil. As I entered the sports arena, I saw curves everywhere. Here are some of them.
Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says
Signs can be funny, informative, deceiving, but some are plain eerie. Walking around the ocean front in Venice Beach, California, you’ll see these signs everywhere. Venice is at sea level and California is earthquake prone, so these signs are a constant reminder that a tsunami may happen any time…
Before Sunset
Spent some time in Venice Beach yesterday shooting pictures just before sunset to catch some of that beautiful gold light.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern
Patterns are everywhere. Some are created, some form naturally. I love both kinds, but nothing is more exciting than encountering natural strong patterns, like these waves on the sand, with beautiful gold tones from the sun.
These were taken in Jericoacoara, Brazil.
Santa Monica Beach
Today was a beach day in Santa Monica. It was sunny with pleasantly warm temperature (70F or 21C), and although the sea was several degrees colder, people were swimming as if it were high summer. Coming from Northeastern Brazil, where the water temperature is much warmer, I chose to walk around and shoot some photos of the beach, the pier, and of the powerful “Arlington West Memorial,” a temporary memorial installed every Sunday on the beach, next to the pier. The crosses are set up at 6:00am on Sunday mornings – rain or shine – and taken down shortly before sunset. The memorial is a project of Veterans For Peace, and similar ones are installed in Santa Barbara and San Diego, CA.
The Brooklyn Bridge
I love the Brooklyn bridge. It’s so iconic. Always so crowded with tourists, locals, vendors, people walking, people in bikes, people talking loud, music playing, it gets a little crazy. It was difficult to take good photos with all that commotion. But once I looked up I was able to appreciate and capture its beauty and character. It was as if we were alone, me, the Brooklyn bridge, and the New York sky.
