Travel, past and future
Filed under: General, Travel

My next trip (a short one this time, from November 25 to December 10) will be again to the Brazilian Highlands. From Brasília I will go again to the plateaus of Goiás, a region that I love. The cerrado is so beautiful, always with flowers, always changing, both during the dry and during the rainy season. Each te you travel you see different flowers.

In my last trip, from the last days of July, 2008 to the first days of September,  I covered more than 5,000 km in a 4WD pickup that  I bought after wrecking two 2WD rent-a-cars on the dirt roads of the Brazilian Highlands. I leave it in Brasília in the covered parking lot of a shopping center, which has monthly rental. From Brasília I travelled to the plateaus and savannas of the State of Goiás, then I drove to Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais State, from where I visited and photographed old colonal mining towns (Ouro Preto, Serro, Diamantina) from the mid-18th Century gold and diamond boom. On the way back to Brasília I photographed the saxicolous vegetation on rock outcrops in the Serra do Espinhaço Mountain Range, and savanna, called cerrado in Brazil, at lower altitudes. After a break in Brasília I went to Barretos in the State of São Paulo to see the Festa do Peão de Boiadeiro, the biggest rodeo in South America with guest cowboys from the US, Canada, Australia… All the way I was able to photograph some aspects of Brazilian economy. Now back to Photoshop…

    I used an online translator and if it seems that you are asking if you need to register to ask my article to your blog. I wasn´t able to read your posts, but from the photographs I can tell that your blog is a serious one, so I give you the authorization to publish some of my articles; however I will request you to submit first to me what you will publish for approval, and to place a link to my website, www.jungleview.com.
