And this is more or less the feeling you get...
...from walking this road downtown from the Marimbeiro quarter...
...cars passing by, take a look...
...a feeling of dizziness...
...more cars passing by...
...until we get downtown...
...finding regional characteristic things as this cross, for instance...
...built at the very spot where someone has died...
...here, maybe it was someone...
...hit by a car.
And here is the entry of the city.
At last in Cambuquira...
...an ancient town lost in a modern time...
...or a modern town lost in an ancient time?
I never know what to say for sure.
An architectural town, full of concern for details...
...as in this bandstand, something infinite...
...that spins... spins... spins...
A bandstand in an old city lost in a modern time...
...that brings me childhood memories...
...of such detailed architecture.
At the Mineral Water Park, fun starts at the entrance.
You pay, you enter and is entitled to one duck's parade.
Or more than one...
Of course, as a good inhabitant of this state...
...the duck avoids being any closer to the camera.
At the side of the park that is close to quarters as Figueira...
...and Regina Coeli we can find the Big Bamboo Bushes.
There are four huge bamboo bushes making for rest, shade, peace...
...tranquility and whatever mood you're in.
Following the same path as to the Big Bamboo Bushes...
...we'll find the fountain Roxo Rodrigues.
A glass house was built around this fountain...
...that differs from the rest of the...
...park's fountains' architecture.
This place houses a photo exhibition...
...with shots of people who have visited the park over the time.
Snaphots from ancient times.
Another refreshing environment...
...the park's magnesian fountain.
Another spot of peace, tranquility and introspection...
...within the park.
It's unbelievable, but every place here is an invitation to simply...
...sit down and contemplate, take a closer, more intimate look.
Slow down...
and forget about modern life's madness...
like Cynar, the artichoke based bitter...
...drink Cynar against modern life's stress.
The Brazil - Portugal Hall...
...created to honor the relations between Brazil...
...and of course, Portugal.
A simple place: a rooftop, a fence, some tables...
...where you can play cards, chit-chat...
...or drink beer or soft drinks...
...probably bought around the park.
The Three Slaves' Lake...
...named after the three slaves killed during its construction.
Tradition has it that their spirits still haunt...
...the vicinity of the lake to this day.
Time is taken seriously here.
The gate to the forest behind the park...
...is closed at 5:30.
Sometimes before 5:30, should there be no tourists.
The many rituals inside the forest...
...the need for signs telling people to light candles...
...only in safe places...
...and the many other kinds of rituals...
...other than the Catholic that take place...
...in the heart of the forest.
"Here we can find strange marks...
...maybe rituals in the heart of the forest."
