Day 19: Piraquara de Dentro


So I failed. Plenty of reasons and excuses, but in the end I was just enjoying myself on some of the most virgin beaches of Brazil. This one is from Piraquara, a beautiful beach that is sadly enough only minutes away from a nuclear power plant (zoom out). No three-eyed fishes, but a slightly elevated water temperature due to warmed up cooling water. The kids didn't seem to mind.

  1. What a lovely photograph. My only regret is not being able to view it any bigger than I can already. I have a feeling that biewing it bigger would really bring out all the details in the sand.

    Sorry you were unable to post - hope you weekend away was enjoyable.
