Itaipu Binacional – 360° View of the Dam

One more 360° panoramic picture from last vacation in Foz do Iguaço, at the south of Brazil. There are two kind of tour you can take there. I did the longer one and this image was taken at the first stop we did. You can see the spillway at the left of the dam. It was closed at that time. To see how the dam is big try to give a zoom at the 6 floor building in front of it, more or less in the middle.

You can see more information at their official site and also some very nice photos.

Stay tuned here, because this is only the first of many 360° panoramas I did there.

At the higher step of the ladder it’s possible to see Arides, one of the nice guides on the tour.

Kite and kitesurf at Leblon, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

In June it is beginning to get a little cold in Rio de Janeiro – at least cold for the people here. In spite of the shiny sun, the strong wind gave us a little cold sensation. When we saw all those kitesurfs we thought about going to the beach to see if our new eagle kite works. Felipe, the younger boy, didn’t like the cold wind and refused to appear in the picture. Bruno was there to hold the kite strongly and don’t let it go away.

Once again the outdoor picture gave me a beautiful little planet image. Job done, picture taken and we left the beach. Hope you all enjoy as we did. This picture is now at the wall in the boys’ room.

View of Carolina, small city at Maranhão – Brazil

I’ve been in Carolina on my last vacation, in July 2011. It is a small and beautiful place on the countryside of Maranhão, Brazil. It is located on the right margin of Tocantins river. The city was founded in 1809 with the name of Arraial São Pedro de Alcântara. According to a 2009 census it has a few more than 25,000 inhabitants. The picture have been taken from a church tower using a 6 meters (19.7 feet) pole.

Friends Meeting To Play Some Music

Its always a pleasure when you are with your friends. Don’t need a special occasion, any excuse can be used to meet and celebrate playing some music, eating and spending some time to talk about anything. After that picture other two keyboard players to complete the music. This picture was taken on May 28th, 2011.

See the panorama!

At the Hotel in Porto Alegre, Brazil

During FISL 2011 I decided to register the hotel too. One day I arrived at the room and everything was in order and clean, so I took some pictures with the empty room and then I put myself in different positions. Don’t forget to change from “Quarto comigo” (Room with me in portuguese) to “Quarto vazio” (empty room in portuguese) on the top right of the picture.

See the panorama!
