An ypê tree blooms by the side of the football field - July 2012.

One of the many one-block streets shooting off Avenida do Rio Pequeno.
A street washed up with rain... leading up to Avenida Politécnica.
This is what became of Rio Pequeno (Little River) after it's been put on a concrete bed. It is polluted to the hilt. I planted this pitanga tree by it to make a little difference.
Guava trees, pitanga and jack-fruit trees were planted by common citizens along the way the brook rolls on. Avenida Escola Politécnica runs on both sides of the brook.
An avocado tree tries its best to flourish in such a harsh environment. The orange tree puts up a similiar struggle.
a little foul water-fall... pardon my pun!!!
see those 3 cherry trees around the bend on Avenida Politecnica? It's August 2012.
graffitti are everywhere...
graffitti galore!

Trying desperately to get away from Rio Pequeno... look at glorious San Remo favela!
slums looming over... San Remo seen from Rio Pequeno.
