Rio Pequeno in bloom...

Rio Pequeno is not only bricks & mortar... it also has some vegetation & green, and it only takes some dedication & determination to find them around...

Jardim Ester

looking down towards Rua José Cerqueira Bastos that links Rodovia Raposo Tavares to Rio Pequeno. 






Praça Antonio Bianco,






a quaint little house on Praça Antonio Bianco, 327. 
by its looks it must have been built in the 1960s.
it was probably built when this whole area was still a wilderness... 




Rua José Felipe de Souza. 
a roundabout on the corner of Rua José Felipe de Souza and Rua Maria Rita Balbino, next to Favela do Sapé.

Jardim Arpoador on a Sunday

Jardim Arpoador is a suburb on the left side of Rodovia Raposo Tavares if one is driving South... it is contiguous to Jardim João XXIII and Jardim Paulo VI. It's heavily densed populated. On Sunday mornings one can see how busy it is if one is near the corners of Av. General Asdrúbal da Cunha and Rua Domingos Rosolia where there is a street market (feira-livre).
