The Countryside of Matto Grosso, Brazil

The countryside of Matto Grosso, Brazil, or maybe I should say the tranquil side of Brazil. Most people think Brazil, is just about beaches and the Amazon Rain Forest, but there is more to this big country than just that. On my two city tour I was able to sit back and reflex on the beauty of this wonderful country. I couldn't image traveling without my camera.  

Sugarcane

Young Fernando, Collecting the Juice.

This family run Sugarcane business deep in the heart of formerly controlled Guerrilla countryside in Colombia, is probably using  the same method to process the Sugarcane the way it was process one hundred years ago. This family has no car or truck they just have one horse and a mule. They go out into the fields and cut the stocks of cane, load them onto their animals and then bring the sugarcane back to the mill. They then  squeeze the juice out of the stocks into a bucket, boil it and then sell it to locally buyers. All in a days work for this family that was nice enough to let me photography them.

Countryside

Near the Puluahua Crater

I Think Someone Lives There?

The beautiful countryside outside of Quito, Ecuador, also near the Pululahua Crater, which is also near the Mitad del Mundo or Middle of the World. Clouds are always rolling in and out constantly changing the look of the landscape.
