Dazzling Reflections
Friday, August 9, 2013

My theme of choice today is for sure a result of  all the exposure I've had specially to Monet´s paintings at Normandy Impressionist Festival. I promissed in a previous post when I was still there, that I would dedicate a post to the Festival. Well,  I´m not ready for that yet...So much to do, so little time...
Inspired by the Master I went to the pond at Botanic Garden to capture the dancing shapes of water.

São Salvador Square - Praça São Salvador
Sunday, August 4, 2013

Nestled between Laranjeiras and Flamengo busy districts in Rio de Janeiro, this square is a real oasis. Early in the morning children come to play, neighbors enjoy the warm winter sun sitting on its benches around the exquisite fountain..
