When your wife forgets to bring your camera...(part 1)

[Otavio]

Dear fellows,

Long time no see. I have not been posting neither visiting this site during the last months due to job issues (been to China for almost a month, pictures to come), moving to a new house, etc. I hope I will have more time from now on.

Well, last month I took some vacations and we planned a family car trip to the south of Brazil. Leaving Santos, we stopped at the cities of Curitiba, Florianópolis, Gramado and Bento Gonçalves. My wife, with the boys, picked me at work after lunch and we started the trip, towards Curitiba (the first stop). About 100km away, I found out she forgot just a single item: the slingshot! . Alternatives were coming back all the way or making our pictures using my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy - 8mp camera). We decided using the cell phone. Of course it is a very limited equipment for shooting, with just a few possibilities, but I decided to share some pictures. Hope they can convey a bit of the very pleasant family trip we had. C&C welcomed. Kindest regards...

#1 - An Ukrainian catedral, in a Curitiba park



#2 - Pedal boats, in the city of Gramado



#3 - Caracol waterfall - Caracol Park - Canela



#4 - The catedral of Bento Gonçalves



#5 - An old steam locomotive, in Bento Gonçalves. They run a touristic attraction bringing back the memories of the Italian imigration to the region.

Otavio, thanks for the pictures. The cathedrals are beautiful. It looks like you had a nice trip.

Welcome back, Otavio. I also tend to go through long spells of absence from CiC due various interferences. Nice set of images. All are nicely composed. Proof that quite often in the proper hands any camera can do the job.

I'm afraid that when we travel if I relied on my wife to pack/bring my camera it would frequently be "forgotten"

Brazil would be the last place I would expect to see an onion dome.

Quite unexpected, I agree with you. Anyway, there are a considerable number of imigrants from Ukraine in the state of Paraná (where I shot the image). Thanks for commenting.
