Sao Paulo, Brazil - Márcio Barreto - Saturday, August 11th, 2007 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This is the city where I live: São Paulo (Brazil). It's one of the biggest cities in the world (the third, more precesily). You're seeing it's centre. The Cathedral in the middle of the picture is called Cathedral of Sé (Sé is the same term Sedes, in portuguese, that happens in the eclesiastic expression Sancta Sedes, or Holy See, in english). The background of the picture points approximately in the south direction, my city extends for (more or less) 50 km in this direction.

A rainbow...I was working (on a Sunday) at IAG when I photographed it
Márcio Barreto: 11th Aug 2007 - 00:24 GMT
The same rainbow with a sepia's effect (it looks like a lightning sent by God!!!!!)
Márcio Barreto: 11th Aug 2007 - 00:26 GMT
The sky after the storm (on the same Sunday when I catched the rainbow above)...it was (more or less) 5 p.m

A radiotelescope at Atibaia (São Paulo state)...The radiotelescope is inside the big ball, it protects the antenna of the radiotelescope from the weather

I'm the architect, I created the Matrix (Matrix Reloaded). This is a "João de Barro" (furnarius rufus), or something like "Muddy John or John of clay"...this kind of bird is an architect and construct with mud its nest

A marmoset showing its tongue to me...This photo was taken at Vinhedo (USP has an old observatory at this little town of São Paulo state)
Márcio Barreto: 11th Aug 2007 - 00:53 GMT
An old observatory in São Paulo (it belonged to IAG, but no more). When it was constructed, the city was very far away; now the city surrounds it (the lights of the city make impossible to do good astronomical observations at this site)
Márcio Barreto: 11th Aug 2007 - 01:02 GMT
The jungle around the stone jungle...This photo was taken at USP (at IFUSP - Instituto de Física da USP, or Physics Institute of USP...where I got my graduation). The buildings in the background are near the buildings at the background right side of the first photo...we are approximately 5 km from these buildings
