"Colour has taken possession of me; no longer do I have to chase after it. I know that it has hold of me forever... Colour and I are one."  Paul Klee 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brazil – Say it with flowers!

Walking around in Brazil means colours. Colourful flowers, colourful animals, colourful attires. Sometimes you get the impression that nature and people have merged into one single happy, ever celebrating entity. During my many visits to this lovely country I have found myself wondering if I should use my eyes to enjoy these images or my camera to capture them. More often than not I do both and many times I have come back home regretting the images I lost because I was so much taken by what I saw that I forgot to shoot. The first five photos were taken during a Sunday morning walk in the suburbs of Sao Jose dos Campos (Estado do Sao Paulo) and the last one in Sao Paulo (Avedida Paulista).
