The old dog
I was feeling like hell yesterday. Went for a walk to relax. There was the patch of grass on the sidewalk and on that patch was laying an old dog. I felt sorry for him, what the way to die for the animal. The dog lifted his head and looked at me with the big smile, just as he was saying, "don't worry about me ol' buddy I'm OK".

Brazilian Ferret 2
Those animals are so cute that I have to post another pic. They always on the run, discovering new things.
Africa has its Hippos
Brazil has Tapirs, even though they are smaller than Hippos and not as dangerous, they love the water. They are the largest Brazilian mammals and can weight up-to 350 kg.
learning from the animals
There are a couple of Maned Wolfs in Cuiaba ZOO and one of them has injured a front leg. Today the zoo keeper brought the food and the healthy wolf let the sick one eat first. We can learn a lot from the animals behavior.

writings in the stone
There are many stone with rupestrian art around Chapada dos Guimaraes. I was told that this one is around 4000 years old, but no one knows exactly.
a very, very old fireplace in Chapada dos Guimaraes
One would wonder, why fireplace in the tropics. Well, Chapada can get very cold in the winter months
windows in the old houses
very few houses were build with the glass windows, mostly they are made out of wood or steel, the cable is connecting a TV set to the satellite dish, one of the very few modern appliances
the door frame of 120 year old house
the fifth generation lives in that house constructed by the great-great-grandfather.
details of the door frame of the old house in Mato Grosso
no one builds them anomore to last for centuries.
what's the point?
This iron bridge over the river Coxipo-Açu has been built in 1907 by British and all the steel parts had to be imported from UK, since there was no local iron industry. The current government of Mato Grosso restored this bridge recently. It ends-up on the private property, so what's the use of restoring the bridge that does not serve any purpose, except for children jumping from it.
the humble beginning
of the great scenery. This is beginning of the Bridal's Veil waterfall. It does not look like much of the things, until you step back and see the 85 meters fall of the water into the spectacular canyon. Everything in life is relative.
Nothing in life if perfect
but there are many wonderfully beautiful things in life. The most beautiful of them, LOVE, I still do not understand.
Cattle drive on Transpantaneira road
the cattle is moved from the flooded areas during the rainy season
Termites mounts in Pantanal
The height of the mounts indicates the water levels during the rainy season. The mounts have to remain above the water.
