THE WIND CHANGES THE TIDE

"OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL CITY RIO DE JANEIRO IS"! PERHAPS, MY FRIEND. IF YOU DON'T CONSIDER THE FACT THAT IT SMELLS LIKE BLOOD AND, IN FACT, BLOOD FLOWS DOWN THRU DOWNTOWN STREETS DUE TO THE EXTREME INNER VIOLENCE THAT'S AWAKEN IN THE HEART OF THE CITY - BY SOCIAL AND POLITICAL CAUSES - ALSO SPREADING ITS EXPLODING VEINS THRU THE SUBURBAN AREAS ALL OVER THE CITY!
BUT IF YOU'RE AN OPTIMIST YOU CAN DIG THIS SHOT TAKEN 16 KMS. FAR FROM RIO - ONE OF THESE DAYS - IN MY HOMETOWN, NITEROI, WHEN I PUT MY FEET OFF THE FERRYBOAT THAT I WAS COMING BACK HOME IN, AND I JUST LOOKED BACK! WATCH THE COLOR OF THE SEA..! ISN'T "INSANE"?

NIKON COOLPIX 5700 WITH ZOOM EQUIVALENT TO 35MM IN 35MM FORMAT. f 8, SPEED 1/8 (HANDHELD), "A" PRIORITY, FOCUS AT INFINITY. NO "TRICKS", JUST MOTHER NATURE GAVE A LITTLE HELP!

P.S. I DON'T USE TO PUT THE HORIZON LINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FRAME, BUT IN THIS CASE I HAD THREE OPTIONS: MIDDLE, HIGH & LOW FRAMING! I CHOOSE THE FIRST TO ENPHASIZE THE BLOOD-LIKE WATER. SO I PLEDGE MYSELF TO MY MASTERS FOR THIS COMPOSITION ERROR!

THIS PHOTOGRAPH COULD ALSO BE CALLED: "THE LAST SUNSET BEFORE DROWNING IN THE BLOOD-LIKE WATERS"

    Dearest Esti, thanks for your preoccupation. Indeed in my hometown - Niteroi - the situation is much better than in Rio. Anyway you're a very kind person and I wish a lot of peace, God's protection and health for you, your family, friends and country fellows so far. A warm embrace and God bless you all. Sergio.

    I hope the situation in your home town Niteroi is better than in Rio. One must find his island of piece to be able to live his every day life, and hope things turn better for all of us.
    Greetings.
